Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Grid, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(false)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public virtual bool AllowMultilineHeaders { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Overridable Property AllowMultilineHeaders As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true if text is wrapped in the print/export output if it contains newline characters; otherwise, false.

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AllowMultilineHeaders
GridView	.OptionsPrint .AllowMultilineHeaders

Remarks

You can include newline characters in column headers and band headers using the “\n” escape sequence in C#, and the VbCrLf constant in Visual Basic. By default, the AllowMultilineHeaders property is set to false and as a result, newline characters are ignored when the grid is printed/exported. For newlines to be in effect in the print/export output, set the AllowMultilineHeaders property to true.

Note

By default, column and band headers are not auto enlarged to fit multi-line text. You can make the header panels bigger using the GridView.ColumnPanelRowHeight and BandedGridView.BandPanelRowHeight properties, respectively.
