Remarks

Layout items are positioned within the table layout according to their OptionsTableLayoutItem.RowIndex and OptionsTableLayoutItem.ColumnIndex properties. The OptionsTableLayoutItem.RowSpan and ColumnSpan settings define the number of columns and rows occupied by a specific layout item.

The following image demonstrates the table layout that consists of five items arranged in three columns and three rows.

Note

If you specify the same target table cells for two or more layout items, these items will overlap.

You cannot set the ColumnSpan property to a value that is less than 1 or exceeds the number of columns available for item arrangement.
