Work with Interface Element Groups

To perform layout customization, first invoke Customization Mode. After customization has been completed, exit customization mode.

Combine Layout Items into Groups

  1. Select a layout item that is to be added to a new group by clicking it.

    You can select multiple items simultaneously by clicking them while holding the SHIFT key down.

  2. Right-click any of the selected layout items and select Group from the context menu:

    EU_XtraLayout_LayoutControl_SelectedItems_Menu

    Note that only adjacent selected layout items can be combined into a group, and only if the region occupied by them forms a rectangle. Otherwise, the Group command is not available when right-clicking the selection.

As a result, a new group is created:

EU_XtraLayout_LayoutControl_NewGroup

You can subsequently rename the group and customize its contents using drag-and-drop and context menus if required.

Rename Groups

Do the following:

  1. Right-click the group’s caption and select Rename:

    EU_XtraLayout_LayoutControl_Group_ContextMenu

  2. Type a new name and press ENTER.

Change Group Content

To customize the layout of controls within a group, use drag-and-drop.

Ungroup Elements

To ungroup elements, right-click the group’s caption and select Ungroup:

EU_XtraLayout_LayoutControl_Group_ContextMenu
