# ListItemGroup

The **\<ListItemGroup>** component is used to display list item groups. It must be used with the **[\<List>](ts-container-list.md)** component and, if not otherwise specified, takes up the entire width of the **\<List>**.

> **NOTE**
>
> - This component is supported since API version 9. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
## Usage Guidelines
If the **listDirection** attribute of the parent **\<List>** component is set to **Axis.Vertical**, the **height** attribute of the **\<ListItemGroup>** component cannot be set. The height of a **\<ListItemGroup>** component is the sum of its header height, footer height, and total height of the list items. If the **listDirection** attribute of the parent **\<List>** component is set to **Axis.Horizontal**, the **width** attribute of the **\<ListItemGroup>** component cannot be set. The width of a **\<ListItemGroup>** component is the sum of its header width, footer width, and total width of the list items.

Currently, the list items in the **\<ListItemGroup>** component cannot be edited, selected, or dragged. That is, the **editable** and **selectable** attributes of these list items do not take effect.

## Child Components

This component supports the **[\<ListItem>](ts-container-listitem.md)** child component.
