Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraDialogs.v23.2.dll
NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Dialogs, DevExpress.Win.Navigation
Declaration
[DefaultValue(true)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public bool AutoUpdateFilterDescription { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boolean | true | true, to display complete filter names (descriptions plus filter templates); false, to display filter names only. |
Remarks
In the figure below, a dialog has the “Images|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF” filter.
This property has an effect only when a filter description does not contain filter templates itself. For instance, the description part of the “Images (*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF)|*.BMP;*.JPG;*.GIF” filter already contains filter templates, and the AutoUpdateFilterDescription property value has no effect on the way this filter is shown at runtime.
