Assembly : DevExpress.XtraEditors.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

[DefaultValue(false)]
[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public virtual bool ItemAutoHeight { get; set; }

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Overridable Property ItemAutoHeight As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false

true if item height is automatically calculated; otherwise, false.

Remarks

By default, all items have the same height, sufficient to display a single line of text using the current font settings. By enabling the ItemAutoHeight property, you allow items to have different heights, each of which corresponds to the particular item content. For instance, this property may be useful if items have different a number of text lines.

C#
VB.NET

csharp

comboBoxEdit1.Properties.ItemAutoHeight = true;
comboBoxEdit1.Properties.Items.Add("1st item");
comboBoxEdit1.Properties.Items.Add("2nd item\r\n2nd item");

comboBoxEdit1.Properties.ItemAutoHeight = True
comboBoxEdit1.Properties.Items.Add("1st item")
comboBoxEdit1.Properties.Items.Add("2nd item\r\n2nd item")

If the automatic height calculation does not feet your needs, you can also set custom heights to particular items by handling the RepositoryItemComboBox.MeasureItem event.
