TdxLayoutSplitterItem.IsClosed Property

Specifies if the splitter’s target layout item is collapsed.

Declaration

property IsClosed: Boolean read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the target adjacent layout item is collapsed; otherwise, False.

Remarks

Use the IsClosed property to expand or collapse the splitter and track its current expanded state. Alternatively, you can call Open and Close procedures to expand or collapse the target layout item.

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:

Code Example: Keep Only One Grouped Layout Item Expanded at a Time

The code example in this section demonstrates OnClosed and OnOpened event handlers that allow you to keep only one layout item expanded within a layout group that contains items delimited by splitters. The form’s OnCreate event handler assigns the same event handlers to all splitters within the target group.

Delphi

procedure TMyForm.SplitterItemClosed(Sender: TdxLayoutSplitterItem;
  AArgs: TdxLayoutSplitterItemMovedEventArgs);
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  for I := 0 to dxLayoutGroup1.Count - 1 do
    if((dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I].ClassType = TdxLayoutSplitterItem) and
      (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] <> Sender)) then
      if (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).IsClosed then
        (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).Open;
end;

procedure TMyForm.SplitterItemOpened(Sender: TdxLayoutSplitterItem;
  AArgs: TdxLayoutSplitterItemMovedEventArgs);
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  for I := 0 to dxLayoutGroup1.Count - 1 do
    if ((dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I].ClassType = TdxLayoutSplitterItem) and
       (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] <> Sender)) then
       if not (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).IsClosed then
         (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).Close;
end;

procedure TMyForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  for I := 0 to dxLayoutGroup1.Count - 1 do
    if(dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I].ClassType = TdxLayoutSplitterItem) then
    begin
      (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).AllowCloseOnClick := True;
      (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).OnOpened := SplitterItemOpened;
      (dxLayoutGroup1.Items[I] as TdxLayoutSplitterItem).OnClosed := SplitterItemClosed;
    end;
end;
