Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false

true if auto-size mode is enabled; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When an editor is displayed within a LayoutControl, you can use the AutoSizeInLayoutControl property to enable auto-size mode. In this instance, the editor’s width is changed to display the editor’s text in its entirety.

The layout control allows you to set size constraints for controls, specifying the range in which the control’s size can vary. See the Size and Alignment topic for more information.

Example

The following code shows how to enable the auto-size feature for a CheckEdit within a LayoutControl, and center the CheckEdit within the corresponding layout item.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

using DevExpress.XtraLayout;

checkEdit1.AutoSizeInLayoutControl = true;
layoutControlItem2.SizeConstraintsType = SizeConstraintsType.SupportHorzAlignment;
layoutControlItem2.ContentHorzAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Center;

Imports DevExpress.XtraLayout

checkEdit1.AutoSizeInLayoutControl = True
layoutControlItem2.SizeConstraintsType = SizeConstraintsType.SupportHorzAlignment
layoutControlItem2.ContentHorzAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Center

See the following help topic for more information: Size and Alignment.
