CaptionHelper.ConvertCompoundName(String) Method

Converts a compound name so that the words forming the name are separated by white spaces.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Utils

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Declaration

C#

public static string ConvertCompoundName(
    string name
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function ConvertCompoundName(
    name As String
) As String

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
name	String	A string representing the compound name that will be converted.

Returns

Type	Description
String	A string representing the processed compound name.

Remarks

Compound names consist of several capitalized words glued together. Examples of such names are BusinessClass, RestoreDefaultSettings, MyApplicationModule and so on. This ConvertCompoundName method overload separates the words forming a compound name with white spaces. So, for example, the RestoreDefaultSettings compound name would be converted to Restore Default Settings.

The ConvertCompoundName method raises the CaptionHelper.CustomizeConvertCompoundName event, which allows you to manually process a compound name that’s being converted.
