Adding tiles to a form infocon component

Note: Before you can add tiles to a form, you must create the tile form to use.

With the parent form open in Design Mode, add or select the infocon component in which you want to use tiles.
In the Tile Form property, specify the tile form to add.

The Tile Form property is located in the Miscellaneous > Specific Attributes group on the Component property sheet.
Use the Tile When property to specify these options:
- List Columns specifies how many tiles, side-by-side, should display when the infocon component is expanded. Valid values are integers representing the number of tiles to display in each row.
- List Rows specifies how many tiles, top-to-bottom, should display when the infocon component is expanded. Valid values are integers representing the number of tiles to display in each column.
  Note: When the List Column and List Rows values are left at their default values (0), the behavior for the infocon behavior is very much like a ComboBox: If the Tile Direction is Down or Up, the expanded display area is one tile wide, with an algorithmically determined height. If the Tile Direction is Right or Left, the expanded display area is one tile high, with an algorighmically determined width.
- Tile Direction specifies the main direction in which the infocon is to expand when expanded. Valid values are Down, Up, Right, and Left.
- Display Selected Item As specifies how the selected item is to be displayed in the drop-down list. Valid values are Text and Tile.

Note: When a tile is assigned to a container that is to present the collection data, you must ensure that the tile and the container match in their collection definitions - that is, any collection used in binding the tile is available from a collection in the container.
