DateTimeInterval Property (ColumnHeaderInitializingEventArgs)

Returns the DateTimeInterval instance for which the column header is being displayed.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property DateTimeInterval As DateTimeInterval
public DateTimeInterval DateTimeInterval {get;}
Example
The following code sample demonstrates how to use the ColumnHeaderInitializing event to display an analog clock in place of the header text to depict the time spanned by that header:
