TemplateAddRowPrompt Property

Specifies the prompt text to display in the add row. By default no prompt is displayed. Once the add row is activated the prompt disappears (and reappears when it’s deactivated). The text spans multiple cells unless UltraGridBand.SpecialRowPromptField property has been set to a valid column key in which case the prompt is displayed in the associated cell.
