Represents a single data source field in a card. Card fields can be arranged using multiple layouts. Each card field displays a value region and can optionally display a caption.

Two objects are created in a LayoutView for each data source field:

LayoutViewField object that contains layout settings, such as size constraints, indents, alignment settings, visibility and location.
LayoutViewColumn object (derived from the GridColumn class) that provides a field’s various display and behavior settings (the field caption text, in-place editor type, display format, whether the field is editable, whether sorting and filtering is enabled, etc.).

LayoutViewColumn objects are stored in the ColumnView.Columns collection. To get a LayoutViewField object that corresponds to a LayoutViewColumn object, see the LayoutViewColumn.LayoutViewField property.

The following table lists the main properties affecting element appearance.
