Specifies the caption of the editor associated with the current column in the edit form.

Namespace : DevExpress.XamarinForms.DataGrid

Assembly : DevExpress.XamarinForms.Grid.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.XamarinForms.Grid

Declaration

csharp

[XtraSerializableProperty]
public string EditFormCaption { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String

The editor caption.

Remarks

Use the EditFormCaption property to display a custom caption for an editor in the edit form. If the EditFormCaption is not specified, the grid uses caption text from the column header.

Example

This example demonstrates how to customize the grid’s edit form appearance.

Use the EditFormPage object’s Content property to access the EditFormView object that represents the form’s default view and stores its appearance settings:

Background color ( BackgroundColor );
Font settings (FontSize, FontColor, FontAttributes, FontFamily);
Content paddings (Padding, ItemPadding).

To specify a custom caption for an editor, use the GridColumn.EditFormCaption property.

XAML

xaml

<dxg:DataGridView x:Name="grid" ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}" Tap="Grid_Tap">
    <dxg:DataGridView.Columns>
        <dxg:TextColumn FieldName="Product.Name" Caption="Product" />
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Product.UnitPrice" Caption="Price" DisplayFormat="C0"/>
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Quantity" />
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Total" 
                          UnboundType="Integer" UnboundExpression="[Quantity] * [Product.UnitPrice]" 
                          IsReadOnly="True" DisplayFormat="C0" />
        <dxg:DateColumn FieldName="Date" DisplayFormat="d" />
        <dxg:CheckBoxColumn FieldName="Shipped" EditFormCaption="Done" />
    </dxg:DataGridView.Columns>
