Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub CopyFrom( _

Parameters

source
Source layout object
Remarks

Invoke this method to copy some or all of an existing UltraGridLayout object's property settings to another UltraGridLayout object. This method does not create a new UltraGridLayout object - it merely copies settings from one object to another.

Invoke the Clone method to make a copy of the current UltraGridLayout object. Clone returns a reference to an UltraGridLayout object, whereas this method does not.

Multiple categories can be copied by combining them using logical Or.

When specifying 256 (PropCatGeneral), the following property settings for the UltraGridLayout object are copied:

  • AddNewBox
  • AlphaBlendEnabled
  • BorderStyle
  • BorderStyleCaption
  • Caption
  • Enabled
  • EstimatedRows
  • Font
  • InterBandSpacing
  • MaxColScrollRegions
  • MaxRowScrollRegions
  • Override
  • RowConnectorColor
  • RowConnectorStyle
  • ScrollBars
  • TabNavigation
  • TagVariant
  • ViewStyle
  • ViewStyleBand
