What are layouts for?
Usually one designs dialogs, forms etc. by placing components like listcontrols, inputlines, treecontrols and so on at absolute locations inside the dialog. While this is fine for a fixed size of your dialog it turns out to be pretty ugly if you want allow resizing of dialogs, forms etc. A comparable ugly effect you achive by running an application in different window sizes.
Layouts will help you to overcome this drawback. They will allow you to relatively place a control and to resize components when necessary.
Layouts are themselves csComponents and have a transparent canvas. Thus you will not note them. One important issue about layouts is that they will transfer all Events of type csevCommand to its parent control. This will allow you overwrite just one HandleEvent to receive all commands from the components embedded in the layouts no matter how deeply nested they are.
