Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Bars

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v14.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool CreateStandardLayout { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property CreateStandardLayout As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the bar manager implicitly creates four BarContainerControls; otherwise, false.

Remarks

By default, the CreateStandardLayout option is set to true. In this mode, four BarContainerControls are implicitly created along the edges of the BarManager. These containers have the BarContainerControl.ContainerType property set to BarContainerType.Top, BarContainerType.Bottom, BarContainerType.Left and BarContainerType.Right respectively. You can dock a bar to any of these containers by setting the Bar.DockInfo.ContainerType (BarDockInfo.ContainerType) property to Top, Bottom, Left or Right.

Besides the implicitly created containers, you can manually add any number of BarContainerControls to the window. A bar can be docked to these containers using the Bar.DockInfo.Container (BarDockInfo.Container) or Bar.DockInfo.ContainerName (BarDockInfo.ContainerName) properties.
