Devexpress eXpressApp listview reading pane

Question

We are working on an internal issue tracker-like software. When I select an issue in its list view control, I would like to display a reading pane at the bottom to show its details, comments, attached files, etc. (Similar to reading pane of e-mails in Outlook.)

What is the best way to achieve this using DevExpress' eXpressApp framework?

Answer 1

The easiest solution is to turn on the ListViewAndDetailView mode as it is shown in our documentation:

Display a Detail View Together With a List View

One more solution is to show a control and a text as it is implemented in the FeaturesCenter demo. Finally, please also refer to the How to show a hint panel in an XAF Windows Forms application
