Remarks

A regular layout group can display layout items, other groups and tabbed groups within its area. New child items can be added to the group via the LayoutGroup.AddItem, LayoutGroup.AddGroup and LayoutGroup.AddTabbedGroup methods. Existing items can be added to a group via the LayoutGroup.Add and BaseLayoutItem.Move methods.

The LayoutGroup class is abstract, so its instances cannot be created. Use the LayoutControlGroup class instead,

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the LayoutGroup class.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
