Layout Items
A layout item is a LayoutControlItem component that can display an external control, a caption and an image within the Layout Control.
Note
Once you add a control to the layout, the Layout Control manages the control’s size, position and visibility. Do not modify the Size, AutoSize, Dock, Location, Visible, Anchor and other related properties of embedded controls. Use the Layout Control’s properties and methods instead.
