SpreadsheetControl.ShowFormulaBar Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the integrated formula bar should be displayed for the SpreadsheetControl. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Spreadsheet

Declaration

C#

public bool ShowFormulaBar { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property ShowFormulaBar As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to display the formula bar; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The newly created WPF Spreadsheet application contains the integrated formula bar by default. Set the ShowFormulaBar property to false to hide it.

Tip

You can also use a standalone SpreadsheetFormulaBarControl by adding it directly from the Visual Studio Toolbox.

Use the following properties to control the visibility of the integrated formula bar’s elements:

• SpreadsheetControl.FormulaBarShowNameBox - shows or hides the Name Box.

  

• SpreadsheetControl.FormulaBarShowButtons - shows or hides the Cancel, Enter and Insert Function buttons.

  

• SpreadsheetControl.FormulaBarShowEditor - shows or hides the formula editor.
