Remarks

The Selected property allows you to get and set an item’s selection state. Selected items are painted with a different color than regular items. You can select an item(s) via code if you need to:

• visually mark a specific item;
• combine the selected items into a new layout item group (via the LayoutGroup.CreateGroupForSelectedItems method);
• combine the selected groups into a new tabbed group (via the LayoutGroup.CreateTabbedGroupForSelectedGroup method).

To access the selected items within a specific layout item group use the LayoutGroup.SelectedItems property.

End-users can select items only in customization mode, which can be invoked by calling the LayoutControl.ShowCustomizationForm method.
