SimpleButton.AutoWidthInLayoutControl Property

Gets or sets whether the control’s width is changed to display the control’s content in its entirety. This property is in effect when the control resides within a LayoutControl.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(false)]
[DXCategory("Properties")]
public bool AutoWidthInLayoutControl { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
Boolean false

true if auto-size mode is enabled; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

When a control is displayed within a LayoutControl, you can use the AutoWidthInLayoutControl property to enable the auto-width feature. In this instance, the control’s width is changed to display the control’s text in its entirety.

The layout control allows you to set size constraints for controls, specifying the range in which the control’s size can vary. See the Size and Alignment topic, for more information.

#Example

The following code shows how to enable the auto-width feature for a SimpleButton within a LayoutControl and center this button within the corresponding layout item:

SimpleButton_AlignHorizontally

using DevExpress.XtraLayout;

simpleButton1.AutoWidthInLayoutControl = true;
layoutControlItem1.SizeConstraintsType = SizeConstraintsType.SupportHorzAlignment;
layoutControlItem1.ContentHorzAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Center;

See the following help topic for more information: Size and Alignment.
