DropDownButton.ActAsDropDown Property

Gets or sets whether a click on the button opens the dropdown control. This option is in effect when the DropDownButton.DropDownArrowStyle property is set to DropDownArrowStyle.Hide.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(true)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public bool ActAsDropDown { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
Boolean true

true if a click on the button opens the dropdown control; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

If the DropDownButton.DropDownArrowStyle property is set to DropDownArrowStyle.Hide and the ActAsDropDown property is set to true, clicking the button invokes the dropdown associated with the button via the DropDownButton.DropDownControl property.

If the ActAsDropDown property is set to false, the DropDownButton acts as a regular button.
