| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.PropertyGridView | Classic | A DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.PropertyGridView enumeration value that specifies whether the control is displayed in the Classic or Office style. |
Remarks
Using the ActiveViewType property you can enable one of the following views:
Classic - a single view with classic design
Office - a tabbed view with flat design
To add and customize tabs in the Office view, use the PropertyGridControl.Tabs collection.
Caution
The Office View does not support multi-editor rows. If the control contains multi-editor rows and you change the ActiveViewType property from Classic to Office in the Windows Forms Designer, the control automatically converts multi-editor rows into multiple single-editor rows. This operation is irreversible.
