TileControl Groups are of the type Group class. A TileControl can have one or more groups. Each group can have one or more tiles of the type Tile class. Each group may include a caption that represents the name for the group. The groups caption is specified by the Text property. The group captions font, forecolor, padding, text size, and position can be modified. The groups caption can also be bolded.

A group arranges its items according to the Orientation property. The spaces between the groups can be specified through the GroupSpacing property so a different group can appear detached from the other group.

A Group can be added to the C1TileControl at design time through the C1TileControl.Groups Collection Editor or programmatically through the Groups property. When a Group is added to the designer it will appear empty on the C1TileControl. You will need to add tiles to the group. The tiles can be added by clicking on the ellipsis button next to the Tiles property and clicking the Add button. Once the tiles are added the default group caption will appear. To see how to add groups to a C1TileControl see Adding Groups to the C1TileControl.
