Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty

The group’s display caption.

Remarks

If the Caption property is set to an empty string, the display caption is automatically generated based on the group value (KanbanGroup.GroupValue). You can obtain this caption via the KanbanGroup.GetCaption property.

HTML-inspired formatting

You can use a set of HTML tags to format group captions. An example and its result are demonstrated below.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

tileView.OptionsKanban.Groups.Add(new KanbanGroup() { 
    GroupValue = TaskStatus.Backlog, 
    Caption= "<size=+2>Backlog
<r><size=-2>User stories" 
});

tileView.OptionsKanban.Groups.Add(New KanbanGroup() With {
                                  .GroupValue = TaskStatus.Backlog,
                                  .Caption = "<size=+2>Backlog
<r><size=-2>User stories"
                                  })

Dynamic text

The ColumnView.CustomColumnDisplayText event allows you to dynamically provide text to display in group captions. For instance, you can display the number of the child tile count for each group (as shown in Tile View Kanban Board module in the XtraGrid MainDemo).
