Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Int32	255	The maximum number of characters displayed in the edit box. The minimum value is 10.

Remarks

This property works in Multiple Item Selection mode only. If the total number of characters in the edit box exceeds the MaxDisplayTextLength, the editor displays the ellipsis after the last item. The LookUpEdit displays the last item completely even if it does not fully fit the MaxDisplayTextLength.

    // ...
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.DataSource = Employee.GetSampleData();
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.DisplayMember = "FullName";
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.ValueMember = "ID";
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.EditValueType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.LookUpEditValueType.ValueList;
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.MaxDisplayTextLength = 15;
}

VB.NET

Public Sub New()
    ' ...
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.DataSource = Employee.GetSampleData()
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.DisplayMember = "FullName"
    lookUpEdit1.Properties.ValueMember = "ID"
