SubItemsVisibleByDefault Property

Gets/sets whether sub-items appear by default when the UltraListView control's View property is set to 'Tiles'.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property SubItemsVisibleByDefault As Boolean
public bool SubItemsVisibleByDefault {get; set;}
Remarks

The SubItemsVisibleByDefault property can be used in the case where there are a large number of columns that are not to be displayed. Typically, the end developer will set the SubItemsVisibleByDefault property to false, and then set the VisibleInTilesView property to true for the columns that are to be visible. Conversely, SubItemsVisibleByDefault can be set to true to show all columns by default, while setting the VisibleInTilesView to false for the ones that should be hidden.

When the SubItemsVisibleByDefault property is set to false, columns are not displayed unless their VisibleInTilesView property is explicitly set to true.

Example
The following code sample demonstrates how to populate the UltraListView control's SubitemColumns collection from the 'Orders' table of the Northwind database:

Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListView

    Private Sub PopulateSubItemColumnsCollection(ByVal ordersTable As DataTable, ByVal employeesValueList As ValueList, ByVal shippersValueList As ValueList)

        '	of the 'Orders' table.
        Dim mainDataColumn As DataColumn = ordersTable.Columns("OrderID")
        Me.ultraListView1.MainColumn.Text = mainDataColumn.Caption
        Me.ultraListView1.MainColumn.DataType = mainDataColumn.DataType

        '	Populate the SubItemColumns collection from the Columns collection of the
        '	'Orders' table
