Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

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

Declaration

See GetAllowVerticalSizing(UIElement) and SetAllowVerticalSizing(UIElement, Boolean).

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if vertical re-sizing is enabled for a specific child element of the DockLayoutControl; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the AllowVerticalSizing property is set to true for a specific item, a sizer is displayed next to the item, enabling vertical re-sizing.

The DockLayoutControl.AllowItemSizing property allows you to temporarily disable horizontal and vertical re-sizing of items within the DockLayoutControl. If this property is set to false, the AllowVerticalSizing and DockLayoutControl.AllowHorizontalSizing attached properties are ignored.

Examples

The following code shows how to enable horizontal and vertical item sizing within a DockLayoutControl via the DockLayoutControl.AllowHorizontalSizing and DockLayoutControl.AllowVerticalSizing attached properties. Vertical sizing is enabled for GroupBox 1. Horizontal sizing is enabled for GroupBox 2 and GroupBox 3.
