GridHitInfo.InGroupColumn Property

Gets a value indicating whether the test point is over a column header displayed within the Group Panel.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.ViewInfo

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual bool InGroupColumn { get; }

VB.NET

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property InGroupColumn As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the test point is within a grouping column’s header; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The InGroupColumn property is useful if you don’t need to determine the exact element residing under the test point and are only interested in whether the point is within a grouping column’s header. For instance, the property can be used if you need to provide a common context menu for headers of grouping columns regardless of which particular column header element is right-clicked. If you need to obtain a particular column header element located under the test point, use the GridHitInfo.HitTest property.
