Inherits from BaseControl, ParentControl
A LayoutBox allows a designer to control the layout of
its child controls. A LayoutBox does not display anything
itself but purely serves as a frame for placing other controls. It can
be used as a list (default), inline list, or grid.
##Properties
In addition to any inherited properties, a LayoutBox
supports:
| Property | Description | Form |

###Further Details
####style
-
list: Children will be added in a vertical manner starting atcellpositioncolumn: 0, row: 0. -
inline: Children will be added in a horizontal manner starting atcellpositioncolumn: 0, row: 0.
To add to a LayoutBox in a grid format, use the
cell property of the child control. As the
LayoutBox is positioning its children it will
use the cell property of the control to place it correctly.
The cell property of a child control overrides the auto
positioning of the style property. If a child control does
not have a cell property defined it will use the
style property to automatically place it based on the
position of the previous child.
