SyncLookWithSourceGrid Property

Specifies whether to apply appearance of the source grid to the column chooser. Default is True.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property SyncLookWithSourceGrid As Boolean
public bool SyncLookWithSourceGrid {get; set;}
Remarks

When SyncLookWithSourceGrid is set to True the source grid's appearance will be applied to the column chooser so they look similar. If this property is left to True the appearance set on the column chooser's DisplayLayout may get overridden. Therefore set this property to False if you want to set appearance on the DisplayLayout of the column chooser.

Note that not all appearances are copied from the source grid to the column chooser's display layout. If you find that some appearance is left uncopied then set this property to False and manually set the appearance on the DisplayLayout of the column chooser.

Example
The following code shows properties, events and methods related to the Column Chooser functionality.

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
