This setting allows you to display any controls within the group. In this case, the group does not display its links. Instead, it provides a container control - a surface on which you can place any arbitrary controls. For more information, see the NavBarGroupControlContainer topic.

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.
