I am trying to add layoutcontrolitems but i cant fix their location problem. I add textbox to each layoutcontrolitem and set a layoutcontrolitem.text option. But layoutcontrolitem.text collapse on eachother and also i could not allign the corresponding textbox and label horizontally. There is a screenshot attached to this post.

i am generating this layoutcontrolitems on runtime with a class. Class is below

namespace LayoutControl
{

    public class LayoutControl
    {
        public DevExpress.XtraLayout.LayoutControlItem newlayoutControlItem;
        public DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit newtextBox;
        public DevExpress.XtraEditors.LabelControl newLabel;
        private List<BaseLayoutItem> _LayoutItems = new List<BaseLayoutItem>();

      public List<BaseLayoutItem> LayoutItems
      {
          get
          {
              return _LayoutItems;
          }
          set
          {
              _LayoutItems = value;
          }
      }

      public void InitializeLayoutControl(int fieldCount,
            DataColumnCollection textBoxName,
            Array fieldValue)
      {

          LayoutItems.Clear();

          int x = 50;

          for (int i = 0; i < fieldCount; i++)
          {
             
              newlayoutControlItem = new DevExpress.XtraLayout.LayoutControlItem();
              newtextBox = new DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit();

              ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(newlayoutControlItem)).BeginInit();
              ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(newtextBox.Properties)).BeginInit();
              //
              // TextEdit ( TextBox)
              //
              newtextBox.Text = Convert.ToString(fieldValue.GetValue(i));
              newtextBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(50, x);
              newtextBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(60, 20);
              newtextBox.AutoSizeInLayoutControl = true;
              //
              // LayoutControlItem
              //

              newlayoutControlItem.Control = newtextBox;
              newlayoutControlItem.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(50, x);
              newlayoutControlItem.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 50);
              newlayoutControlItem.Text = Convert.ToString(fieldValue.GetValue(i))+":";
              newlayoutControlItem.TextLocation = DevExpress.Utils.Locations.Left;
              newlayoutControlItem.TextSize = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 20);
              newlayoutControlItem.AppearanceItemCaption.TextOptions.HAlignment = DevExpress.Utils.HorzAlignment.Near;

              LayoutItems.Add(newlayoutControlItem);

              x = x + 32;
          }
          ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(newtextBox.Properties)).EndInit();
          ((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(newlayoutControlItem)).EndInit();

      }
    }
}

And this is how i implement this class in my main form                //
                // layoutControl2
                //
                this.layoutControl2.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Left;
                this.layoutControl2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 51);
                this.layoutControl2.Name = "layoutControl2";
                this.layoutControl2.Root = this.layoutControlGroup2;
                this.layoutControl2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(395, 499);
                this.layoutControl2.TabIndex = 5;
                this.layoutControl2.Text = "layoutControl2";
                //
                // layoutControlGroup2
                //
                this.layoutControlGroup2.CustomizationFormText = "layoutControlGroup2";
                this.layoutControlGroup2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
                this.layoutControlGroup2.Name = "layoutControlGroup2";
                this.layoutControlGroup2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(395, 499);
                this.layoutControlGroup2.Spacing = new DevExpress.XtraLayout.Utils.Padding(0, 0, 0, 0);
                this.layoutControlGroup2.Text = "layoutControlGroup2";
                this.layoutControlGroup2.DefaultLayoutType = DevExpress.XtraLayout.Utils.LayoutType.Horizontal;
                this.layoutControlGroup2.TextVisible = false;

and inside an event

this.layoutControlGroup2.Clear();
this.layoutControlGroup2.AddRange(testlc.LayoutItems.ToArray());

try to wrap this code into layoutControlGroup2.BeginUpdate/layoutControlGroup2.EndUpdate Block

this.layoutControlGroup2.Clear();
this.layoutControlGroup2.AddRange(testlc.LayoutItems.ToArray());

yesterday i end up with your solution but this time i faced with some other layout problems so i had to completely change my way of doing this task.

I inspired from this solution: http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q181061.aspx?searchtext=layoutcontrolitem&tid=4b2d6f97-c4ae-48fc-87f6-8c5da6541e40&pid=-1

My aim was to create texboxes ,which will show the focused row elements from a datagrid. anyway it seems i did it but i dont know if i am doing it in the right way.

Below are my working codes. But it again does not seem rational. Because every time i focus a new row this code regenerates new set of texboxes etc and it does not seem so logical to create all these again every time.

namespace LayoutControl

    public class RecordDetailsPane : UserControl

        private Array labelName;
        private Array fieldValue;

        public void InitializeControl(int _fieldCount,Array _labelName,Array _fieldValue)
          {
              fieldCount = _fieldCount;
