Assembly: DevExpress.XtraLayout.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

public LayoutGroup AddGroup(
    string text
)

Public Function AddGroup(
    text As String
) As LayoutGroup

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
text	String	The group’s caption. This value is used to initialize to the BaseLayoutItem.Text property.

Returns

Type	Description
LayoutGroup	The newly added group.

Remarks

The default layout type is determined by the LayoutGroup.DefaultLayoutType property. By default, it is set to LayoutType.Vertical, so the new group is positioned at the bottom of the current group. If this property is set to LayoutType.Horizontal, the new group is positioned at the current group’s right edge.

To add layout items to the new group use the LayoutGroup.AddItem and BaseLayoutItem.Move methods.
