ViewStyle Property (UltraTree)

Gets/sets the view style for the control, i.e., whether columns are displayed and if so, how they are displayed.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ViewStyle As ViewStyle
public ViewStyle ViewStyle {get; set;}
Example
The following code sample demonstrates how to use the properties of the UltraTreeNodeColumn object to modify the behavior and appearance of the cells displayed by the column.
