Represents a Detail with freely-customizable content.
Namespace : DevExpress.Xpf.Grid
Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core
public class ContentDetailDescriptor :
DetailDescriptorBase
Public Class ContentDetailDescriptor
Inherits DetailDescriptorBase
When setting up master-detail hierarchy, the Detail may display either another grid or custom controls. If you choose to display custom controls, you will need to use the ContentDetailDescriptor object in one of the following ways:
The following are the main members in the ContentDetailDescriptor class that you will need to work with:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| DetailDescriptorBase.ContentTemplate | Gets or sets the template specifying the entire or partial content of a Detail. |
| ContentDetailDescriptor.HeaderContent | Gets or sets the detail section’s header content. This is a dependency property. |
This example displays the memo field and the Chart Control in grid details. The memo field displays data from the master row, and the chart is bound to detail data. The DataTemplate that contains these two controls is asigned to both ContentDetailDescriptor and DataControlDetailDescriptor:
