ICharacterProperties.Hidden Property

Returns whether content is hidden.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Declaration

bool? Hidden { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<Boolean>	true if content is hidden; false if content is visible; null if only some content is hidden.

Remarks

The Hidden property defines whether content is hidden. Select the Home → Show/Hide ¶ ribbon command to show/hide hidden content. The Rich Text Editor underlines hidden content with a dotted line.

A cell stores its text formatting settings in the CharacterProperties property. Call the cell’s ChangePropertiesAsync method to show or hide table cell content.

The following example hides the last column’s content:
