Item Group
The ExpressBars Suite allows you to organize bar items into logical groups using ‘category‘ and ‘item group‘ metaphors. Item groups are designed to simultaneously manage the visibility and accessibility of their items. An item group can contain both bar items and other item groups. Each bar item or group can belong to only one item group.
At design time, you can manage a bar manager’s collection of item groups using the Customization Form.
Unlike categories, item groups cannot be displayed in the Customization Form at runtime. Refer to the Customization Form - Groups Page topic, to learn more.
To create an item group in code, call a bar manager’s CreateGroup function. You can access all the created item groups via a bar manager’s Groups zero-based indexed collection. Each item group is represented by an instance of the TdxBarGroup class, which provides methods to manage its contents.
