Property Value

Type	Description
GridView	A GridView object that is the GridControl‘s View used to display data in the GridListEditor.

Remarks

The GridListEditor uses the GridControl as its control. The GridControl displays data in a UI via special Views. Note, that these Views are not related to the Views used in XAF to construct a UI. The GridControl‘s Views are represented by the GridView class instances. The GridView class provides a two-dimensional representation of data from a data source in grid format.

The example below demonstrates how to set the alternating row color for all List Views in a WinForms application.

C#

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp;
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Editors;
// ...
public class ListEditorController : ViewController<ListView> {
    private GridListEditor listEditor;
    private void ListEditor_ControlsCreated(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridView gridView = ((GridListEditor)View.Editor).GridView;
        gridView.OptionsView.EnableAppearanceOddRow = true;
        gridView.Appearance.OddRow.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(244, 244, 244);
    }
    protected override void OnActivated() {
        base.OnActivated();
        listEditor = View.Editor as GridListEditor;
        if (listEditor != null) {
            listEditor.ControlsCreated += ListEditor_ControlsCreated;
        }
    }
    protected override void OnDeactivated() {
        if(listEditor != null) {
            listEditor.ControlsCreated -= ListEditor_ControlsCreated;
        }
        base.OnDeactivated();
    }
}
