Namespace: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web

Declaration

C#

public static bool EnableGroupUpperCase { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Shared Property EnableGroupUpperCase As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if the upper case is enabled for layout group captions; otherwise, false.

Remarks

By default, in XAF ASP.NET Web Forms applications, the upper case is enabled for layout group captions. The following code snippet demonstrates how to disable it.

C#

protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
    //...
    WebApplication.Instance.SwitchToNewStyle();
    WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableGroupUpperCase = false;
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup();
    WebApplication.Instance.Start();
}

VB.NET

Protected Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    '...
    WebApplication.Instance.SwitchToNewStyle()
    WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableGroupUpperCase = False
    WebApplication.Instance.Setup()
    WebApplication.Instance.Start()
End Sub

This property has effect when used before the application main page is shown. You can access it in the Session_Start method located in the Global.asax file, after the WebApplication.SwitchToNewStyle method is called.

The result is demonstrated in the image below.

Tip

You can also disable the upper case for the grid column, Tree List column, layout group, and navigation group captions at once, using the WebApplicationStyleManager.EnableUpperCase property.
