Dispatches the specified layout element to a special method of the Visitor class.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Layout

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

C#

public virtual void Visit(
    LayoutElement element
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub Visit(
    element As LayoutElement
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
element	LayoutElement	A LayoutElement descendant that is the element for which a specialized method is called.

Remarks

Call this method to traverse the layout tree starting with the specified node.

The Visit method calls the Accept method of the specified layout element, which in turn, calls the specialized method of the visitor instance. For example, the LayoutVisitor.Visit(LayoutPageArea) calls the LayoutPageArea.Accept method, which in turn, calls the VisitPageArea method which should be overridden in the LayoutVisitor custom descendant.
