CFMenuUsingBarManager

The Conditional Formatting menu may look and behave differently based on whether a BarManager or RibbonControl is placed on the same form as the GridControl. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Menu Appearance and Behavior.

The ColumnView.FormatRuleManagerFormCreated event allows you to customize options of the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager dialog (this dialog is invoked when you select the Conditional Formatting->Manage Rules… command).

See the following topic to learn more: Appearance and Conditional Formatting.
