GridLayout

The grid layout is a layout that arranges the UI elements in the UI element container in the form of a grid. The number of grid columns can be specified using the GridLayout property colCount.

Note

The UI element InvisibleElement enables you to use empty grid cells within a GridLayout

Padding can be specified in two ways:

In the GridLayout using GridLayout.cellPadding
In the GridData using GridLayout.paddingLeft, or GridLayout.paddingRight, etc.

Both ways are possible. If you set the padding on the GridLayout, padding is set evenly on each cell, as shown in the figure in GridLayout Properties.

You can also specify padding on each cell. Paddings specified on GridLayouts and GridData are added up.
