ASPxMenuBase.ItemSpacing Property

Gets or sets the amount of space between the menu items of the root menu level.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue(typeof(Unit), "")]
public virtual Unit ItemSpacing { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
Unit String.Empty

A Unit that represents the spacing value.

Remarks

Use the ItemSpacing property to define the spacing between the adjacent menu items of the root menu level. If separators are visible, the item spacing is displayed before and after a separator.

Note

The ItemSpacing property value can be explicitly defined in certain themes, so specifying it has no effect.

Menu_ItemSpacing

To specify the amount of space between the sub-menu items, use the MenuStyle.ItemSpacing property.

Example

This example demonstrates how the checked state of items can be manipulated to emulate the toolbar behavior (using the ASPxMenu control).
