ColumnCount Property

Returns/sets the number of columns created to display UltraExplorerBarGroups. Only applies to control Style ‘0 – ExplorerBar’.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ColumnCount As Integer
public int ColumnCount {get; set;}
Remarks

When the control's Style is set to '0 - ExplorerBar' it is possible to layout the UltraExplorerBarGroups into one or more columns. This configuration allows the end-user to view more information contained in the control without needing to scroll groups into view. This property determines the number of columns that the groups can occupy. The default value is 1.

Example
The following code shows how to manipulate the properties that relate to Group columns and spacing.

Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar


	Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button5.Click

		' Set the style of the control to ExplorerBar and setup columns.  Set the number of 
		' columns based on the width of the control.  Allow a minimum of 100 pixels for each
		' column.
		Me.ultraExplorerBar1.Style = UltraExplorerBarStyle.ExplorerBar
		Me.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnCount = Math.Max(1, Me.ultraExplorerBar1.Width / 100)


		' Set ColumnSpacing (i.e., the horizontal spacing between columns) to 6 pixels.
		Me.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnSpacing = 6


		' Set the GroupSpacing (i.e., the vertical spacing between groups) to 10 pixels
		Me.ultraExplorerBar1.GroupSpacing = 10


		' Setup the first group so that it spans all columns.
		If (Me.ultraExplorerBar1.Groups.Count > 0) Then
			Me.ultraExplorerBar1.Groups(0).ColumnsSpanned = Me.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnCount
		End If

	End Sub
using System.Diagnostics;
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar;


		private void button5_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			// Set the style of the control to ExplorerBar and setup columns.  Set the number of 
			// columns based on the width of the control.  Allow a minimum of 100 pixels for each
			// column.
			this.ultraExplorerBar1.Style			= UltraExplorerBarStyle.ExplorerBar;
			this.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnCount		= Math.Max(1, this.ultraExplorerBar1.Width / 100);


			// Set ColumnSpacing (i.e., the horizontal spacing between columns) to 6 pixels.
			this.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnSpacing	= 6;


			// Set the GroupSpacing (i.e., the vertical spacing between groups) to 10 pixels
			this.ultraExplorerBar1.GroupSpacing		= 10;


			// Setup the first group so that it spans all columns.
			if (this.ultraExplorerBar1.Groups.Count > 0)
				this.ultraExplorerBar1.Groups[0].ColumnsSpanned = this.ultraExplorerBar1.ColumnCount;
		}
