IconList

The IconList (formally called DesktopIcons) object is a control used to display a list of options in a tiled icon format for screens that have more real estate such as the desktop client or tablets.

The elements inside the tile are sized independently. For example, the icons can be assigned a set size and the text can be set to scale dynamically when the tile size changes, or be assigned a set font size in the solution designer.

The TextOptions property group - sets the values for the FontSize and FontStyle. The sizing of the icon names (captions) and icons in a button/tile are affected by the margin, ScalePoint, and ScaleText. The Margin is the distance between text and the edge of the icon container. ScalePoints reduces the size of the text by the factor supplied. For example ScalePoint 0 or 1 sets the text default size; 2 makes the text 2 times smaller then the icon size. ScaleText, if set to True enables scaling of text; False prevents it from being scaled (reduced).

Depending on the size of the control on the form and the size of the overall icon, columns of icons will be added or removed based on the available space.
