Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not to stretch a shape to fill its client area when it’s rotated.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v19.1.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Reporting.Core, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Core

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(true)]
[DefaultValue(false)]
[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatBehavior)]
public bool Stretch { get; set; }

VB.NET

<SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatBehavior)>
<Browsable(True)>
<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Property Stretch As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**false**	true to stretch the shape; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the Stretch property to determine whether a shape’s image should be stretched to fit the entire size of a control. Otherwise, its proportions should be preserved.

Note

Note that the Stretch property is in effect only if the shape is rotated (its XRShape.Angle property value is different from 0).

Example

This example demonstrates how to create an XRShape Arrow type control, and set its basic properties.
