Property Value

Type
DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Rows.VGridCustomizationFormBase

Remarks

The Customization Form allows end-users to hide rows and make them visible again. Use the CustomizationForm property to adjust the form’s settings. This property’s return value is a Form descendant. You can change the form’s caption, assign a context menu to it, change its position, etc.

Note

The Customization Form is recreated with default settings each time it is displayed. All changes made are lost between hiding the form and showing it again. You need to handle the VGridControlBase.ShowCustomizationForm event to apply the desired changes each time the Customization Form is shown.

Refer to the following help topic for more information: Customization Form - Vertical Grid.

Example

The following sample assigns a context menu to the Customization Form each time it is shown. The context menu contains a single item used to restore hidden rows.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

using DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Rows;
//...

private void btnShowCustomizationForm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   // Show Customization Form.
    vGridControl1.ShowCustomization();
}

private void vGridControl1_ShowCustomizationForm(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
   menu = new ContextMenu(new MenuItem[] {new MenuItem("Restore All")});
   menu.MenuItems[0].Click += new EventHandler(menuItem1_Click);
   vGridControl1.CustomizationForm.ContextMenu = menu;
}

private void vGridControl1_HideCustomizationForm(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
   if (menu == null) return;

   menu.Dispose();
   menu = null;
