| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TextAlignModeGroup | UseParentOptions | A TextAlignModeGroup value which specifies the alignment settings of the controls. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| UseParentOptions | Alignment settings are determined by the group’s parent. The OptionsItemTextGroup.TextToControlDistance and OptionsItemTextGroup.AlignControlsWithHiddenText properties of the current group are ignored. In this mode, these settings are determined by the group’s parent. For the root group, its parent is the LayoutControl itself (the LayoutControl’s alignment settings are specified by the LayoutControl.OptionsItemText property). For other groups their parents are upper-level groups (a group’s alignment settings are specified by the LayoutGroup.OptionsItemText property). |
| AlignLocal | Controls displayed within the current group are equally aligned independent of other groups. |
| AutoSize | The auto-size feature is applied to the layout items of the current group. The text regions of the layout items are automatically resized to the minimum width that allows the text to be displayed in its entirety. |
| CustomSize | Enables custom size mode, in which the size of the text regions of the group’s layout items must be specified manually via the BaseLayoutItem.TextSize property. |
| AlignWithChildren | Controls displayed within the current and nested groups are equally aligned independent of other groups. |

Remarks
By default, the TextAlignMode property is set to TextAlignModeGroup.UseParentOptions. In this instance, the controls displayed within the current group are aligned according to the alignment settings of the group’s parent. For the root group, its parent is the LayoutControl itself. For other groups, their parents are upper-level groups. The alignment settings of the LayoutControl are specified by the OptionsItemText.TextAlignMode property of the LayoutControl.OptionsItemText object.
If the TextAlignMode property is set to a value other than TextAlignModeGroup.UseParentOptions the alignment settings of the controls within this group are no longer controlled by its parent.
For each layout item you can override the alignment settings of its parent using the LayoutControlItem.TextAlignMode property.
