Namespace : DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.LayoutControl

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public static char GroupPathSeparator { get; set; }

Public Shared Property GroupPathSeparator As Char

Property Value

Type	Description
Char

A Char value that separates individual group descriptions.

Remarks

By default, you have to separate individual groups with the ‘/‘ character. For instance, in the Data Layout Control topic example, the following code adds the AddressLine1 editor to the Address group within the Contact tab, placed within the Tabs group.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

[Display(GroupName = "{Tabs}/Contact/Address", ShortName = "")]
public string AddressLine1 { get; set; }

<Display(GroupName := "{Tabs}/Contact/Address", _
        ShortName="" := "")> _
Public Property AddressLine1() As String 
'... 
End Property

To implement your own custom syntax and replace the default ‘/‘ symbol with a desired custom symbol, use the static GroupPathSeparator property. For example, if the GroupPathSeparator property equals ‘*’, the code above should be modified as follows.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

[Display(GroupName = "{Tabs}*Contact*Address", ShortName = "")]
public string AddressLine1 { get; set; }

<Display(GroupName := "{Tabs}*Contact*Address", _
        ShortName="" := "")> _
Public Property AddressLine1() As String 
'... 
End Property
