Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DevExpress.Utils.Menu.OptionsMultiColumn | An OptionsMultiColumn object that comprises the settings of the multicolumn mode. |
Remarks
By setting the BarLinkContainerItem.MultiColumn property to True you can display items in the current sub-menu in multiple columns. The OptionsMultiColumn property provides access the settings that allow you to customize the multicolumn mode. For example, the BarLinkContainerItem.OptionsMultiColumn.ColumnCount property allows the number of columns to be specified.
If items in the sub-menu are divided into groups using headers (BarHeaderItem objects), you can override the multicolumn mode settings for the group of items below a particular header using the BarHeaderItem.MultiColumn and BarHeaderItem.OptionsMultiColumn properties.
Moreover, you can use the BarAndDockingController component to control multicolumn mode settings in a centralized way. The BarManagerProperties.OptionsMultiColumn property, accessible using the BarAndDockingController.PropertiesBar property, allows you specify multicolumn mode settings for all pop-up menus and sub-menus controlled by the BarManager (see BarManager.Controller). The settings provided using the current sub-menu’s OptionsMultiColumn property override these global settings.
