How to create information panels in XAF applications

XAF - How to: Create information panels

In certain scenarios, you may need to create additional functional areas in a UI to display data. You can do this using additional controls in XAF templates and by implementing the code that supplies data to the controls.

Implementation Details

To accomplish this task, follow the steps below:

1. Create a custom template as described in the following topic: Templates.
2. Add to this custom template a UI element that should display the additional information (e.g., div).
3. To pass data to this element, use a dedicated ViewController that accesses the template and passes required information to this template.

Warning

We created this example for demonstration purposes and it is not intended to address all possible usage scenarios with it. If this example does not have certain functionality or you want to change its behavior, you can extend this example as needed. Please note that this can be a complex task that requires good knowledge of XAF: UI Customization Categories by Skill Level. You will likely need to research how our components work under the hood. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Debug DevExpress .NET Source Code with PDB Symbols. We are unable to help with such tasks as custom programming is outside our Support Service scope: Technical Support Scope.
