RepositoryItemMemoEdit.WordWrap Property

Gets or sets whether the editor automatically wraps words to the beginning of the next line when necessary.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

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

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Property WordWrap As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true if the editor automatically wraps words to the beginning of the next line; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If WordWrap is enabled, the control automatically wraps words to the next line when necessary so users do not need to scroll the text horizontally. The horizontal scroll bar is not displayed regardless of the ScrollBars setting.

If WordWrap is disabled, the control starts a new line only where the text contains a carriage-return/linefeed character. The control automatically scrolls horizontally when a user types past its right edge.

Note

The maximum length of a single text line is limited to 1024 characters. After this limit, the text is wrapped even if the WordWrap setting is disabled.
