RepositoryItemMemoEdit.AutoHideScrollBars Property

Gets or sets whether the memo editor hides scroll bars when text fits within the visible area.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public DefaultBoolean AutoHideScrollBars { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property AutoHideScrollBars As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean value that specifies whether the editor hides scroll bars when text fits within the visible area.

Available values:

Name	Description	Return Value
True	The value is true.	0
False	The value is false.	1
Default	The value is specified by a global option or a higher-level object.	2

Remarks

If the AutoHideScrollBars property is set to DefaultBoolean.True, the MemoEdit control hides scroll bars when text fits within the editor’s visible area. If text exceeds the editor’s bounds, the control displays the required scroll bar.

Set AutoHideScrollBars to DefaultBoolean.False to always display scroll bars.

Notes

• The AutoHideScrollBars property affects scrollbars specified by the ScrollBars property. If the ScrollBars property is set to None, the editor does not display scroll bars.

• If the WordWrap property is set to true, the editor does not display a horizontal scroll bar, regardless of the AutoHideScrollBars or ScrollBars value.

• We recommend that you use the AutoHideScrollBars property with Advanced Mode. The auto-hide logic dynamically re-evaluates the scrollbar state and may therefore malfunction in regular mode.

Example

The following example configures a MemoEdit control to display a vertical scroll bar only when text exceeds the editor’s height:

C#

memoEdit1.Properties.ScrollBars = System.Windows.Forms.ScrollBars.Vertical;
memoEdit1.Properties.AutoHideScrollBars = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;

VB.NET

memoEdit1.Properties.ScrollBars = System.Windows.Forms.ScrollBars.Vertical
memoEdit1.Properties.AutoHideScrollBars = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
