BarManager.CreateStandardLayout Property

Gets or sets whether the bar manager implicitly creates four BarContainerControls at the four edges of the BarManager control, allowing you to dock Bars at these positions. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Bars

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

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 default bar containers (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 define a Bar object in the BarManager.Bars collection, and dock this bar to any of these default containers by setting the Bar.DockInfo.ContainerType (BarDockInfo.ContainerType) property to Top, Bottom, Left or Right.

Besides the default containers, you can manually add any number of BarContainerControls to the window. A Bar object, defined in the BarManager.Bars collection, can be docked to these containers using the Bar.DockInfo.Container (BarDockInfo.Container) or Bar.DockInfo.ContainerName (BarDockInfo.ContainerName) properties.
