Returns or sets the date/time format used to derive the text for the column headers.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property HeaderTextFormat As String
public string HeaderTextFormat {get; set;}
Example
The following code sample demonstrates how to use the properties of the UltraTimelineView control to customize the column headers.

Imports System.Diagnostics

    Public Sub InitColumnProps(ByVal control As UltraTimelineView)

        '  the columns, the width required to show the additional interval's captions is considered

        '  Use the ColumnHeaderAppearance to customize the look for all headers
