RowLayout API 

Overview

The row layout arranges the UI elements in a single column. Like the Matrix-Layout, the row layout uses predefined cell classes, which ensure that the distances between cells are appropriate for the entire row. The vGutter property of the RowHeadData object lets you specify additional horizontal distances easily. You can set these additional distances with or without separators. The distance for each cell is specified by assigning a specific enumeration value of the class WDLayoutCellSeparator of the RowHeadData object. The subelement RowHeadData allows you to specify which UI element appears at the start of each new row within the container. The row layout differs from the matrix layout in that the content is not organized in table cells. That is, the individual elements are not aligned vertically with each other. When the row layout is implemented in an application, performance is better than if a matrix layout were used, but the layout flexibility is not compromised. For this reason, you should structure the view and container in horizontal areas as early as possible, using the row layout. You should only use the Matrix layout if you need to display a table and align the elements vertically.
