Glossary Item Box

Defines whether the control and its items can be customized.

Remarks

Property specifies if the control and the view, in which data is presented, can be customized in runtime. Runtime customization is a powerful feature which enables the user to adjust a control or user interface according to his desires and specifications. Controls offer many features that can be used to create such a personalization. Personalization can then also be distributed throughout the entire system for individual user or for a group of users. To learn more about personalization see chapter Personalization.

If property is set to True, user can use several different features to customize the appearance of the control. User can avail features such as sorting, grouping, resizing, moving fields, filtering, etc.

If property is set to False, user cannot personalize anything in the grid nor can he distribute the personalization. The default appearance of the control is defined in design time.

The default value for this property is True.
