Column Header

Column headers identify columns in Grid Views, Banded Grid Views, and Advanced Banded Grid Views. A column header contains the following UI elements:
The column header panel contains headers of all visible columns. Headers of grouped columns are displayed in the group panel. The Customization Form displays headers of hidden columns. A right click on a column header in the header panel or the group panel activates the column header context menu.
The following table lists the main properties that allow you to customize column headers:
Appearance | The GridViewAppearances.HeaderPanel property specifies appearance settings for all column headers. Individual columns may override these settings using the GridColumn.AppearanceHeader property. |
