DataLayoutControl.AllowGeneratingCollectionProperties Property
Gets or sets whether layout items that correspond to IList properties will be added to the generated layout. By default, these layout items will contain embedded GridControls to display and edit IList object contents.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraDataLayout
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraLayout.v19.1.dll
Declaration
[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public DefaultBoolean AllowGeneratingCollectionProperties { get; set; }
Property Value
Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
DefaultBoolean | **Default** | True to generate layout items for IList properties; Default or False to exclude these properties from the generated layout. |
Available values:
Name | Description |
---|---|
True | Corresponds to a Boolean value of true. |
False | Corresponds to a Boolean value of false. |
Default | The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting). |
Remarks
When the AllowGeneratingCollectionProperties property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default or DefaultBoolean.False, the generation of layout items that correspond to IList properties is disabled. When this property is set to DefaultBoolean.True, IList properties will be presented in the layout by items with embedded GridControls (by default).
Note
For a bound object’s properties of the Array and IEnumerable types, layout items are added to the layout regardless of the DataLayoutControl.AllowGeneratingCollectionProperties
option. These layout items contain embedded GridControls by default.
