<dxa:AccordionControl>
   <dxa:AccordionItem Header="Root Item">
      <dxa:AccordionItem Header="SubItem"/>
      <dxa:AccordionItem Header="SubItem"/>
   </dxa:AccordionItem>
</dxa:AccordionControl>

Customize Header Content

You can customize the header’s content. The following code sample demonstrates how to put a custom object in the AccordionItem .Header :

• XAML

<dxa:AccordionControl>
   <dxa:AccordionItem Header="Root Item">
      <dxa:AccordionItem Header="SubItem"/>
      <dxa:AccordionItem>
         <dxa:AccordionItem.Header>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
               <Label Foreground="Red">SubItem</Label>
               <dxe:SpinEdit Margin="20, 0" Value="1" />
            </StackPanel>
         </dxa:AccordionItem.Header>
      </dxa:AccordionItem>
   </dxa:AccordionItem>
</dxa:AccordionControl>

The image below shows the result:

You can set the AccordionItem.ItemDisplayMode property to Header to replace the current accordion item with the object its AccordionItem .Header property specifies. In this mode, the glyph and expand-collapse button are disabled, and the item’s margins are ignored.
