# ControlGroup

A SwiftUI ControlGroup component for grouping interactive controls.
iOS, tvOS

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

Expo UI ControlGroup matches the official SwiftUI [ControlGroup API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/controlgroup). When placed inside a [`Menu`](/versions/latest/sdk/ui/swift-ui/menu), the children are rendered as a compact horizontal row of buttons.

> **Note:** On tvOS, ControlGroup requires tvOS 17.0 or later.

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

### Basic control group

A control group inside a menu, these render as a horizontal row of icon buttons.

```tsx
import { Host, Menu, ControlGroup, Button } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function BasicControlGroupExample() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Menu label="Options" systemImage="ellipsis.circle">
        <ControlGroup>
          <Button systemImage="plus" label="Add" onPress={() => console.log('Add')} />
          <Button systemImage="star" label="Favorite" onPress={() => console.log('Favorite')} />
          <Button
