DefaultBoolean	Default	True, if nested groups are generated for business object properties; Default or False if nested groups are not generated.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

The DefaultBoolean.Default value is equivalent to False.

Note

Generation of nested groups is not supported when the DataLayoutControl is bound to eXpress Persistent Objects.
