Syntax

'Declaração
Public Property AllowUserToAddItems As Boolean
    Get
    Set

public bool AllowUserToAddItems { get; set; }

public:
property bool AllowUserToAddItems {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

member AllowUserToAddItems : bool with get, set

function get AllowUserToAddItems () : boolean
function set AllowUserToAddItems (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the user can add rows; otherwise false. The default is true.

Remarks

When the AllowUserToAddItems property is set to True, users can add a new row by clicking the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem ToolStripButton on the BindingNavigator control, or by pressing CTRL+N when a DataRepeaterItem has focus.

When the AllowUserToAddItems property is set to False, the CTRL+N keyboard function is disabled, but the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem ToolStripButton is still enabled. If you want to prevent users from adding rows, you should also disable or remove the BindingNavigatorAddNewItem ToolStripButton on the BindingNavigator control.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to disable the Add button when the AllowUserToAddItems property is set to False. It assumes that you have a form that contains a DataRepeater control named DataRepeater1 and a BindingNavigator control named ProductsBindingSource.

Private Sub DataRepeater1_AllowUserToAddItemsChanged(
    ) Handles DataRepeater1.AllowUserToAddItemsChanged

    ' If this event occurs during form initialization, exit.
    If Me.IsHandleCreated = False Then Exit Sub
    ' If AllowUserToAddItems is False.
    If DataRepeater1.AllowUserToAddItems = False Then
        ' Disable the Add button.
        BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Enabled = False
        ' Disable the BindingSource property.
        ProductsBindingSource.AllowNew = False
    Else
        ' Otherwise, enable the Add button.
        BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Enabled = True
    End If
End Sub

private void dataRepeater1_AllowUserToAddItemsChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // If this event occurs during form initialization, exit.
    if (this.IsHandleCreated == false) { return; }
    // If AllowUserToAddItems is False.
    if (dataRepeater1.AllowUserToAddItems == false)
    // Disable the Add button.
    {
        bindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Enabled = false;
        // Disable the BindingSource property.
        productsBindingSource.AllowNew = false;
    }
    else
    {
        // Otherwise, enable the Add button.
        bindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Enabled = true;
    }
}
