The expand button is displayed within the group’s caption if the LayoutGroup.ExpandButtonVisible property is set to true. The ExpandButtonMode property specifies the direction of the expand button’s arrow (normal or inverted). The arrow visually indicates the direction in which the group is expanded/collapsed. The arrow’s normal display mode is appropriate if the group’s caption is displayed along the group’s top or left edge. If the group’s caption is displayed along the group’s right or bottom edge, use the arrow’s inverted display mode. To specify the position of a group’s caption, use the group’s LayoutItemContainer.TextLocation property.
