Property Value

Type	Description
GroupBoxState	A GroupBoxState value that specifies the GroupBox’s state.

Available values:

Name	Description
Normal	A GroupBox is in the normal state.
Minimized	A GroupBox is collapsed and its content is not visible.
Maximized	A GroupBox is in the maximized state. This state is supported for GroupBoxes displayed within a FlowLayoutControl.

Remarks

The GroupBox supports three states:

• GroupBoxState.Minimized

  In this state, the GroupBox is collapsed, and its content is not visible to end-users.

  If the GroupBox.MinimizeElementVisibility option is set to Visible, an end-user is able to set the GroupBox to the minimized state via a dedicated Minimize Element button.

• GroupBoxState.Maximized (supported when the GroupBox is displayed within a FlowLayoutControl)

  In this state, the GroupBox occupies the majority of the FlowLayoutControl, with other items arranged in a row or column along the control’s edge.

  Assigning a GroupBox to the FlowLayoutControl.MaximizedElement property automatically sets the maximized state for the GroupBox.

  If the GroupBox.MaximizeElementVisibility option is set to Visible, an end-user is able to set the GroupBox to the maximized state via a dedicated Maximize Element button.

• GroupBoxState.Normal

  This is a normal state for a GroupBox. Setting the state to Normal restores the GroupBox from the minimized or maximized state to the regular state and view.
