DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.Base.AutoHideExpandState	An DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.Base.AutoHideExpandState enumeration value that specifies whether the current auto-hidden panel is hidden, visible or expanded.

Remarks

The AutoHideExpandState property allows you to get or set the state of the current auto-hidden panel in code. The DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.Base.AutoHideExpandState enumeration provides the following values.

Value	Description
Hidden	The panel is hidden from view, as Panel1 in the figure below.
Visible	The panel is visible, but not expanded.
Expanded	The panel is expanded up to the entire window client area.

In the In-line auto-hide mode (see DockLayoutManager.AutoHideMode), auto-hidden panels display the Hide (see LayoutPanel.ShowHideButton), Collapse (see LayoutPanel.ShowCollapseButton) and Expand (see LayoutPanel.ShowExpandButton) buttons, which allow an end-user to manipulate the panel’s auto-hide state at run time.
