TileCustomDrawEventArgs.ShouldDrawContent Property

Gets whether the tile should display content.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

public virtual bool ShouldDrawContent { get; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true if the tile should display content; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

When the ShouldDrawContent property returns true, you can draw content with custom appearance or use the e.DrawContent method to draw content with the default appearance.

The following code snippet demonstrates the default drawing algorithm:

void tileView1_CustomDrawTile(object sender, TileViewItemCustomDrawEventArgs e) {
    switch (e.DrawingProcess) {
        case TileViewItemCustomDrawProcess.DrawTile:
            if (e.ShouldDrawBackground)
                e.DrawBackground();
            if (e.ShouldDrawContent)
                e.DrawContent();
            if (e.ShouldDrawHoveredOverlay)
                e.DrawHoveredOverlay();
            if (e.ShouldDrawDisabledOverlay)
                e.DrawDisabledOverlay();
            if (e.ShouldDrawBorder)
                e.DrawBorder();
            if (e.ShouldDrawCheckMark)
                e.DrawCheckMark();
            break;
        case TileViewItemCustomDrawProcess.DrawCheckMark:
            e.DefaultDraw();
            break;
        case TileViewItemCustomDrawProcess.DrawSelection:
            e.DefaultDraw();
            break;
    }
    e.Handled = true;
}
