Property Value

Type	Description
DevExpress.XtraLayout.Utils.BaseItemCollection	A DevExpress.XtraLayout.Utils.BaseItemCollection collection that contains the group’s selected items.

Remarks

Items within a group can be selected by setting an item’s BaseLayoutItem.Selected property to true. When an item is selected it is added to the group’s SelectedItems collection, and removed from the collection when unselected.

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).

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