Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual HorzAlignment GlyphAlignment { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
Public Overridable Property GlyphAlignment As HorzAlignment

Property Value

Type	Description
HorzAlignment	A DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment enumeration value specifying the check box’s horizontal alignment.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	Places an object or text at the default position, which is determined by a control.
Near	Places an object/text at a near position.
Center	Centers an object or text within a region.
Far	Places an object/text at a far position.

Remarks

Use the GlyphAlignment property to specify the horizontal alignment of the glyph representing a check box within a check editor. This property also affects the editor’s caption text alignment. If the GlyphAlignment property is set to Center, the caption text is hidden and only the check box is displayed.

Assigning a new value for the GlyphAlignment property at runtime generates the RepositoryItem.PropertiesChanged event.

The following images demonstrate the check box aligned to the center and to the right respectively.

You can also specify the vertical alignment of the glyph using the BaseRepositoryItemCheckEdit.GlyphVAlignment property.
