The button row control is a container, that displays several buttons in horizontal order. The advantage of the button row control over multiple usage of the "button" control (which would place the buttons also next to each other) is, that the button row control places the buttons closer to each other and that the distance is constant, regardless of the style sheet settings.

When the button row control is not used in a gridlayout or formlayout, it is always rendered in a new line.
