    name: string
): ASPxClientLayoutItem

Parameters

name	string	A string value specifying the name of the layout item.

Returns

Type	Description
ASPxClientLayoutItem	An ASPxClientLayoutItem object that represents the current layout item’s subitem with the specified name.

Remarks

An ASPxFormLayout control’s client-side functionality allows individual layout items to be accessed programmatically. The GetItemByName method gets a specific client layout item which is a child item of the current layout item. The obtained child layout item is specified by its name, which is defined by the LayoutItemBase.Name property.

This method searches the specified layout item amongst all subitems of the current item. Note that if an invalid name is passed via the parameter, this method returns null.

To access a particular layout item specified by its name from the ASPxFormLayout control level, the control’s ASPxClientFormLayout.GetItemByName method can be used.
