View.CreateControls() Method

Creates controls that visualize a View in a UI.

Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void CreateControls()

VB.NET

Public Sub CreateControls

Remarks

A view is an abstract UI element. It is visualized via special controls. For DetailView objects, controls of their View Items are created. For ListView objects, a control of their ListView.Editor is created.

The CreateControls method is called when a View needs to be displayed. After creating controls, this method raises the View.ControlsCreated event.

Generally, you do not need to call this method because Views are visualized automatically.
