#Remarks
The FlowLayoutControl supports maximizing its items, one at a time. When an item is maximized, it occupies the major part of the control, while other items are arranged in a single layer (column or row) along the control's edge:
The following image shows the Group Box item in the maximized state:
You can maximize an item by assigning it to the MaximizedElement property. A GroupBox control (when it belongs to the FlowLayoutControl) can be maximized by setting the GroupBox.State property to GroupBoxState.Maximized. An end-user can maximize and then restore a GroupBox via the Maximize Element (see GroupBox.MaximizeElementVisibility).
The following code shows how to set the MaximizedElement property in XAML:
<lc:FlowLayoutControl MaximizedElement="{Binding ElementName=item3}">
It's possible to customize the position of the maximized element relative to the remaining items. In code, you can do this via the FlowLayoutControl.MaximizedElementPosition property. At runtime, an end-user can change the position via drag-and-drop, provided that the FlowLayoutControl.AllowMaximizedElementMoving property is enabled.
