Assembly: DevExpress.XtraLayout.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

public SplitterItemFixedStyles FixedStyle { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
SplitterItemFixedStyles None

A SplitterItemFixedStyles value that specifies whether and which layout item/group is fixed.

Available values:

Name Description
None

No item is fixed.

LeftTop

The left or top item is fixed (depending on the SplitterItem’s orientation).

RightBottom

The right or bottom item is fixed (depending on the SplitterItem’s orientation).

#Remarks

You can use the FixedStyle property to fix a layout item/group at the left/top or right/bottom side of the SplitterItem. The fixed layout item/group does not change its width/height when the width/height of the Layout Control is changed. This property is analogous to the SplitContainerControl.FixedPanel property within the SplitContainerControl.

The following animations show how fixed items behave. In both the images below, a LayoutControl contains two layout items (Notes and Options) separated by a SplitterItem:

The SplitterItem.FixedStyle property is set to LeftTop:

The SplitterItem.FixedStyle property is set to RightBottom:

The FixedStyle property is not in effect when layout items are resized directly via the splitter.
