Remarks
Use the GroupsStyle property to specify how the contents of design toolbox groups are presented to an end-user. By default, this property is set to NavBarGroupStyle.Default and this ensures that the group’s links are displayed according to the currently applied view. By setting the GroupsStyle property to a specific NavBarGroupStyle enumeration value, you can force the links to be displayed using large or small images, with or without captions.
