ConditionalAppearance - How do I customize the item caption text based on a certain condition

Conditionaly set DetailViewItem's Caption

created 16 years ago

Hi Guys,
how can i set the caption of an DetailView Item via an Controller? Simply setting the DetailViewItem.Caption dont work since the setter is empty in you source code:
[Description("Returns the current Detail View Item's caption.")]
          public virtual string Caption {
               get { return ""; }
               set { }
          }
I need to set the Caption via an controller, win/web without saving it to the model…?
thx

    Hello Noxe,
    To change the caption in the Windows Forms application, use the following code:

    C#
    protected override void OnViewControlsCreated() {  
    base.OnViewControlsCreated();  
    PropertyEditor propertyEditor = (PropertyEditor)((DetailView)View).FindItem("Property1");  
    int hashCode = propertyEditor.Control.GetHashCode();  
    foreach (BaseLayoutItem item in ((LayoutControl)View.Control).Items) {  
        if (item is LayoutControlItem) {  
            if (((LayoutControlItem)item).Control.GetHashCode() == hashCode) {  
                item.Text = //...  
                break;  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}

    In a web application, get the Literal control, as shown in the Detail View Item: Change Caption Color issue, and change its text.
    Thanks,
    Anatol
