CardView Property (UltraGridBand)

Returns or sets a value that determines whether the band is Card View mode.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property CardView As Boolean
public bool CardView {get; set;}
Remarks

Card View mode is a view style of the band that presents row data as a series of note cards instead of the traditional rows and columns. This view style is similar to the card view style of the Contacts section of Microsoft Outlook. Card View mode replaces the rows and columns of the child band with a card view area which contains the cards. The card view area scrolls horizontally to display as many cards as are required by the data in the band.

In Card View mode, you have a number of choices that control the way the cards will appear. You can choose to display labels on cards, control the size of the card view area, set guidelines for how cards will be arranged, and specify how the data field labels (analogous to column headers) will appear. These options are set by manipulating the properties of the CardSettings object associated with the band.

Note that when a band is in Card View mode, no children of that band will be displayed. In card view, there is no effective interface for displaying a child band, so the display of child bands is disabled. Child bands may still exist, but they cannot be shown by the control.

Example
Following code illustrates how to use Card View feature in the UltraGrid. Following code turns on the card-view for the first band. All the descendants of that band will automatically get hidden.
