ð Size and Coordinates Left Specifies the left (horizontal) ordinate pixel of the object Top Specifies the top (vertical) ordinate pixel of the object Width Specifies the object width, in pixels Height Specifies the object height, in pixels Align Specifies the alignment of the object. The options are: None - Object can be moved anywhere because it is not aligned to the parent object Client - Aligns itself to the available client area by expanding to fill the parent object that it is in Left - Aligns itself to the left side of the parent object growing or shrinking to match parent height Right - Aligns itself to the right side of the parent object growing or shrinking to match parent height Top - Aligns itself to the top side of the parent object growing or shrinking to match parent width Bottom - Aligns itself to the bottom side of the parent object growing or shrinking to match parent width
ð Component ID Unique identifier used when passing property parameters in statements
ð View Group Layout Specifies the control's group layout, horizontal or vertical. When using the horizontal layout, tiles that belong to one group can be arranged in multiple columns. For the vertical layout, tiles in a group are always arranged in one column. The default value is horizontal. Group Max Row Count Specifies the maximum number of rows across which tile items are arranged in tile groups Group Indent Specifies the space (in pixels) between visible tile groups. Refer below for the Group Indent/Item Indent relationship. Indent (Horizontal, Vertical) Specifies the space (in pixels) between the content of a tile menu and its left and right edges, and the space between visible tile groups and the top and bottom edges of a tile menu Item (Height, Width) Specifies a regular tile item's height and width (in pixels) Item Indent Specifies the space (in pixels) between the Group Caption and the space occupied tiles in a group. Refer below for the Group Indent/Item Indent relationship. Center Horizontal Horizontally centers a tile menu's main page content Center Vertical Vertically centers a tile menu's main page content Fixed Horizontal Indent Applies the margin between the content of a tile menu and its visible left and right edges Fixed Vertical Indent Applies the margin between the content of a tile menu and its visible top and bottom edges Enabled Specifies the control's accessibility to end-users Tab Stop Determines whether or not the control is part of tab order and user is able to land on this field Transparent Specifies whether the control is transparent Visible Specifies if the control is visible |

Group Indent and Item Indent
The Group Indent and Item Indent properties work hand and hand to specify object spacing. Group Indent specifies the space between visible tile groups (default = 56). Item Indent specifies the space between the Group Caption and the space occupied tiles in a group (default = 8). With the two, an internal Virtual Group Width is maintained with the following formula:
VirtualGroupWidth = (GoupIndent – (2 * ItemIndent))
The Virtual Group Width value is calculated every time Item Indent and Group Indent are changed, and the Virtual Group Width must always be higher than Item Indent.
