Property Value

Type	Description
Style	A Style object that represents a style used by the LayoutItem.Label object when it is rendered.

Remarks

Note

This style is intended for the DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl.LayoutItemLabel type.

See the Styling and Templating topic in MSDN to learn more.

To specify a DataTemplate used to render the item’s label, use the LayoutItem.LabelTemplate property.

Example

The following code shows how to change the styles of labels for individual layout items, or all of them. The style is changed via the LayoutItem.LabelStyle property. Styles of layout items’ labels can be customized via the LayoutItem.LabelStyle property. This example demonstrates two approaches to changing the LabelStyle property:

• for all layout items belonging to a container - via the container’s LayoutGroup.ItemStyle property. In this example, this style specifies the blue foreground color for labels
• for individual layout items - directly via their LayoutItem.LabelStyle properties. In the example, this style, applied to the first layout item (Model), paints the item’s label in red.

The following image shows the result:
