Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.1.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Grid, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public override Rectangle ViewRect { get; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ViewRect As Rectangle

Property Value

Type	Description
Rectangle	A Rectangle structure representing the View’s bounding rectangle. Coordinates are specified relative to the grid control’s top-left corner.

Remarks

For pattern Views, this property returns the Rectangle.Empty value.

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the ViewRect member must not be invoked for these Views. The ViewRect member can only be used with Views that display real data within the Grid Control. Use the following methods to access these Views with which an end user interacts at runtime.

• GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
• GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
• GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
• the sender parameter of View specific events;
• GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.
