| column | GridColumn | A GridColumn object |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | A string representing the specified column’s display caption. |
Remarks
The pattern used to generate fields’ captions is specified by the View’s LayoutView.FieldCaptionFormat property. The GetFieldCaption method allows you to get the display caption for a specific column.
Note
Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the GetFieldCaption member must not be invoked for these Views. The GetFieldCaption member can only be used with real Views that are displayed within the Grid Control. The real Views with which an end-user interacts at runtime can be accessed using the following methods.
- 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.
