The jQuery UI controlgroup widget is bundled in jQuery Mobile with some changes. Thus, its API documentation fully describes its functionality.

By default, controlgroup displays its controls in a vertical layout. Use this option to use a horizontal layout instead.

This option is also exposed as a data-attribute data-direction="horizontal".

Code examples:

Initialize the controlgroup with the direction option specified:

$( ".selector" ).controlgroup({
  direction: "horizontal"
});

Get or set the direction option, after initialization:

// Getter
var direction = $( ".selector" ).controlgroup( "option", "direction" );
 
// Setter
$( ".selector" ).controlgroup( "option", "direction", "horizontal" );

mini

Type: Boolean
Default: null (false)
If set to true, this will display a more compact version of the controlgroup that uses less vertical height by applying the ui-mini class to the outermost element of the controlgroup widget.

Note: mini option is deprecated in 1.5 and will be removed in 1.6

This option is also exposed as a data attribute: data-mini="true".
