Editing Widget Layout
Widget can contain multiple nested containers, and each of them has its own layout. Layout types may be combined, e.g. root panel with absolute layout may have child tabbed panel those tabs use grid layout, and one of tab's cells may have nested panel with absolute layout, etc.
Layout of each container is edited independently. However, it's possible to move components between containers.
Editing layout comprises:
- Adding new components to the widget by dragging them from palette and dropping into the work form
- Moving components from one container to another
- Moving components between two locations within one container
- Resizing components
- Cloning components
- Editing component constraints (margins, anchor, etc.)
- Drawing graphical primitives
