TdxLayoutSplitterItem.GetNearItem Method

Provides access to the adjacent near layout item.

Declaration

function GetNearItem: TdxCustomLayoutItem;

Returns

Type	Description
TdxCustomLayoutItem	The adjacent near layout item. The function returns nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder) if the layout splitter occupies the first position in the parent layout container (the splitter does not delimit two layout items).

Remarks

Call GetNearItem and GetFarItem functions to access two adjacent (near and far) layout items delimited by the splitter.

Near, Far, and Target Layout Items

Near and far item positions depend on the parent layout group‘s LayoutDirection property value:

ldVertical

Default. The group arranges items from top to bottom. The near item is above the splitter, and the far item is below it.

ldHorizontal

The group arranges items from left to right. Near and far items are to the left and right of a splitter, respectively.

The target item is the near or far layout item associated with the splitter, depending on AlignVert and AlignHorz property values as well as the parent group direction.

For example, the near item is the splitter target if the parent group is horizontally arranged, and the AlignHorz property is set to ahLeft:
