MatrixLayout

Use

The MatrixLayout arranges the UI elements as a table in a grid structure. It uses predefined cell classes that guarantee appropriate margins between cells in the grid. The vGutter property lets you specify additional horizontal margins. You can set these additional distances (known as gutters) with or without separators. In addition, the MatrixLayout can include horizontal separators to separate the rows further, represented by the HorizontalGutter UI element. This type of layout is preferable to the GridLayout, since it makes the layout structure in a container more consistent. Using the interface MatrixHeadData, you can specify the UI element that appears at the start of each new line.

Dynamic Programming

For dynamic programming, the same properties, events and aggregations are available as in the View Designer. However, the spelling format and use of upper/lower case is different.
