CompactCardView Class

Represents a compact card-view layout. The compact card-view layout applies well when a database has many columns but few of the fields contain data. In this case, the fields that do not contain data will not be displayed in the cards, giving them a more compact appearance.

Syntax

'Usage
 
Dim instance As CompactCardView

[StyleTypedProperty(Property="FocusVisualStyle", StyleTargetType=System.Windows.Controls.Control)]
[XmlLangProperty("Language")]

[TypeDescriptionProvider(MS.Internal.ComponentModel.DependencyObjectProvider)]
[NameScopeProperty("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)]
public class CompactCardView : CardView

Remarks

The View property of the DataGridControl class determines which view is applied to a grid. If the View property is left to its default value, null (Nothing in Visual Basic), or explicitly set to null, the default table-view layout will be used with the system color scheme. The Theme property of the View class can be set to change the color scheme applied to a grid's elements. If left to its default value, null, the system color scheme will be used. In either case, if the system-color theme is not recognized (e.g., a third-party color scheme is being used), the Aero normal-color theme will be used.

Views and themes can be set through attribute syntax or property element syntax. To change the default view and/or theme using attribute syntax, the name of the view to use (e.g., CardView) must be provided, optionally followed by the name of the theme class (e.g., NormalColorTheme), or the name of the class without the "Theme" portion. If the theme is omitted, the default Aero normal-color theme will be used.
