Remarks

This property controls whose link settings can be determined by a user. It specifies whether users can apply different captions, paint styles, widths and glyphs to individual links that correspond to the same item. Note that single options can be enabled/disabled only in code, as shown in the example below. To disable all user defined options, call the BarItemLink.Reset method.

Example

The sample code below demonstrates how to check whether the specified link option (BarLinkUserDefines.Caption in our case) is active. If the option is currently disabled, it is activated.

using DevExpress.XtraBars;

// ...
if ((item1.Links[0].UserDefine & BarLinkUserDefines.Caption) == 0)
   item1.Links[0].UserDefine |= BarLinkUserDefines.Caption;
