WinExplorerView.Assign(BaseView, Boolean) Method

Copies all settings from the parameter View to the current View and allows you to specify whether event handlers should be copied as well.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.WinExplorer

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.1.dll

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

Declaration

C#

public override void Assign(
    BaseView v,
    bool copyEvents
)

VB.NET

Public Overrides Sub Assign(
    v As BaseView,
    copyEvents As Boolean
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
v	BaseView	A BaseView object that is the source View to copy settings from.
copyEvents	Boolean	true, to copy event handlers from the source View; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note

If you copy settings to a grid control’s View before this grid’s data source is initialized, certain column settings (e.g., GridColumn.UnboundExpression of unbound columns) do not automatically take effect. You can use one of following solutions to resolve the issue:

• Set the target grid’s data source after the Assign method is called.
• Call the target View’s View.DataController.RePopulateColumns method after the Assign method is called.
