RepositoryItemTokenEdit.MaxExpandLines Property

Gets or sets the maximum number of lines this TokenEdit can occupy. This property is ignored if the editor is used in-place.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(4)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public int MaxExpandLines { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(4)>
Public Property MaxExpandLines As Integer

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Int32	4	An Int32 value that is the maximum number of lines this TokenEdit can occupy.

Remarks

If there is insufficient space to display all the required content, the TokenEdit can stretch vertically until it reaches the lines number specified by the MaxExpandLines property. If the editor needs more lines, it displays scroll bars to scroll through its lines. This behavior is only applied if the RepositoryItemTokenEdit.AutoHeightMode property equals TokenEditAutoHeightMode.RestrictedExpand. Otherwise, if this property has the TokenEditAutoHeightMode.Expand value, the MaxExpandLines property value is ignored. In this case, the TokenEdit can expand infinitely.

The MaxExpandLines property is in effect only for standalone Token Editors.
