    IsMainColumn Property (ColumnBase)
    Gets or sets a value indicating whether the column is a grid's main (primary) column.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overridable Property IsMainColumn As Boolean
     
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As ColumnBase
    Dim value As Boolean
     
    instance.IsMainColumn = value
     
    value = instance.IsMainColumn

    Property Value

    true if the column is a grid's main column; false otherwise. The main column can also be retrieved through the MainColumn property exposed by a grid's Columns collection.
    Remarks

    When a grid is in a card-view layout, the data displayed in a card's title is determined by a grid's main (primary) column. The content of the cell whose field name matches the field name of the main column will be displayed in the corresponding card's title. If left unmodified, the main column will be the first column that is added to a grid's Columns collection; however, the main column can be changed by setting a column's IsMainColumn property to true.

    The CellContentTemplate of the main column is also used to display the default content of the scrolltip.

    When a grid uses a TreeGridflowView, the column identified as being the "main" column (by setting this property to true) will display its data using a tree structure. In other words, in details the data of the cells associated with this column will be slightly indented.
