Type	Default	Description

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

Remarks

When a control is displayed within a LayoutControl, you can use the AutoWidthInLayoutControl property to enable the auto-width feature. In this instance, the control’s width is changed to display the control’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-width feature for a SimpleButton within a LayoutControl and center this button within the corresponding layout item:

C#
VB.NET

csharp

using DevExpress.XtraLayout;

simpleButton1.AutoWidthInLayoutControl = true;
layoutControlItem1.SizeConstraintsType = SizeConstraintsType.SupportHorzAlignment;
layoutControlItem1.ContentHorzAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Center;

Imports DevExpress.XtraLayout

SimpleButton1.AutoWidthInLayoutControl = True
LayoutControlItem1.SizeConstraintsType = SizeConstraintsType.SupportHorzAlignment
LayoutControlItem1.ContentHorzAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Center

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