RepositoryItemMemoExEdit.Assign(RepositoryItem) Method

Copies settings of the specified repository item to the current one.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public override void Assign(
    RepositoryItem item
)

VB.NET

Public Overrides Sub Assign(
    item As RepositoryItem
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
item	RepositoryItem	A RepositoryItem object representing the source of the operation.

Remarks

The Assign method is used to copy public properties and event handlers from the source repository item specified by the item parameter to the current RepositoryItemMemoExEdit object. This makes it possible to have several memo editors with the same behavior and look & feel.

The item parameter can represent any RepositoryItem-derived objec. The Assign method copies properties common to the source and the current repository item. Thus, if the source is a RepositoryItemMemoExEdit object, all its public properties and event handlers will be copied to the destination object. For other source repository item object types, only the properties and event handlers of the immediate common ancestor will be assigned.

This method is used internally and generally you do not need to call it from your code.
