The current BarItem‘s unique identifier.

To allow the bars’ layout to be saved and restored correctly each bar item’s Id property must be set to a unique integer.
When creating bar items at design time the Id property is initialized automatically.
If you create bar items via code and wish the bars’ layout to be stored and restored correctly, you need to set the Id property manually. To initialize the Id property the BarManager.GetNewItemId method can be used.
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the Id property.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
