commands.IStandardGroup.type property

Gets the render type of the group.

Signature:

readonly type?: 'expanded' | 'collapsed' | 'stacked';

Returns: 'expanded' | 'collapsed' | 'stacked'

Introduced: version 1.9

Remarks

Use this property to explicitly control how the group is presented in the user interface. The options are: - 'expanded' - shows all commands inline (default) - 'collapsed' - shows the group as a single icon/label button that opens a dropdown - 'stacked' - renders the group's children as a vertical column of small (icon + label) buttons that expand inline in the ribbon. A stacked group behaves like an 'expanded' group but with a compact visual layout; it can collapse under overflow pressure. In popup menus the children render as normal menu items below the group's section-header label.

For a split button that has a primary command, use commands.ICommandGroup (type: 'command'). If type is specified it takes precedence over the deprecated commands.IGroupBase.isCollapsed boolean.
