Formatting Values

• Jan 10, 2025

Vertical grid controls (VGridControl and PropertyGridControl) expose properties and events that allow you to format cell display text.

To format cell values in edit mode, use masks for the grid’s in-place editors. Each in-place editor exposes a MaskSettings property. You can customize its settings to specify an appropriate format pattern. Read the following help topic for more information: Input Mask.
