Property Description

Remarks

An end-user can add new items (e.g. groups) in Customization Mode, provided that the LayoutControl.AllowNewItemsDuringCustomization and LayoutControl.AllowAvailableItemsDuringCustomization properties are set to true. See the LayoutControl.AllowNewItemsDuringCustomization topic to learn more.

The InitNewElement event fires after an item has been created by a user. Handle the event to customize the item’s properties. The created item can be accessed via the event’s Element parameter.
