Remarks

The ColumnCount property is in effect when the TileViewItemOptions.Orientation setting is Vertical. The property’s value is interpreted differently in different layout modes.

Default layout mode

When tile stretching is disabled (see TileView.OptionsTiles.StretchItems), the ColumnCount property specifies the maximum number of columns to accommodate tiles. If the property is set to 0, the column number is not limited.

When tile stretching is enabled, the ColumnCount property specifies the exact number of displayed columns, as in List layout mode.

List layout mode

The ColumnCount property specifies the exact number of displayed columns. If the property is set to 0, the actual column number is 1.

Kanban layout mode

The ColumnCount property is ignored. The Tile View generates columns (Kanban groups) based on unique values provided by the TileView.ColumnSet.GroupColumn column. You can also manually create Kanban Groups via the TileView.OptionsKanban.Groups collection.
