The Refresh method recalculates all the graphical information of the layout control and then redraws it.

VB.NET

csharp

int count = 0;
Font myFont = new Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Bold);
private void simpleLabelItem1_CustomDraw(object sender, DevExpress.XtraLayout.ItemCustomDrawEventArgs e) {
    e.Cache.DrawString("COUNT=" + count.ToString(), myFont, Brushes.Blue, e.Bounds);
    e.Handled = true;
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    count++;
    layoutControl1.Refresh();
}

Dim count As Integer = 0
Dim myFont As New Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Bold)
Private Sub SimpleLabelItem1_CustomDraw(sender As Object, e As DevExpress.XtraLayout.ItemCustomDrawEventArgs) Handles SimpleLabelItem1.CustomDraw
    e.Cache.DrawString("COUNT=" + count.ToString(), myFont, Brushes.Blue, e.Bounds)
    e.Handled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    count = count + 1
    layoutControl1.Refresh()
End Sub
