HeaderPosition Property (UltraGroupBox)

Gets/sets the value that determines which edge of the control the header will appear on and also whether the header appears inside, on, or outside the border.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property HeaderPosition As GroupBoxHeaderPosition
public GroupBoxHeaderPosition HeaderPosition {get; set;}
Remarks

This property can be used to determine the location of the controls header. There are two aspects involved with the different header positions: which side of the control, and the location relative to the controls border. The header can be on the top or bottom of the control (i.e. horizontal) or on the left or right side (i.e. vertical). The header can also be "on" the border, "outside" the border, or "inside" the border. The meaning of these latter terms are relative to the side of the control that the header is on.

For example, if the header is on the top edge of the control then "outside" the border means above it, and "inside" the border means below it. When the header is said to be "inside" the border, it always indicates that the header is contained within the content area of the control.

Example
This snippet demonstrates how you can make the header of the UltraExpandableGroupBox "rotate" when the control's expanded state changes.
