Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v18.2.dll

Declaration

public DefaultBoolean AllowHide { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowHide As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Description
DefaultBoolean	One of the DefaultBoolean enumeration members that specifies whether the tab item can be hidden.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.
False	Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.
Default	The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

End-users can hide tab items by clicking the close button, displayed within their headers. If the AllowHide property is set to DefaultBoolean.False, the close button is not visible.

When the AllowHide property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default, the visibility of the close button is defined by the tab control view’s TabControlViewBase.AllowHideTabItems property.
