Specifies whether or not the overtype mode is allowed.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(true)]
public virtual bool OvertypeAllowed { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
Boolean true

true if the overtype is allowed; otherwise, false.

#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type Path to OvertypeAllowed
RichEditControlOptionsBase
.Behavior .OvertypeAllowed

#Remarks

In the overtype mode, typing new characters replaces any existing characters to the right side of the insertion point.

Setting the OvertypeAllowed to false disables using the Insert key to control the overtype mode. The property has no effect if the overtype mode is enabled in code (i.e, if the RichEditControl.Overtype or RichEditControl.Overtype property is set to true).
