Working with Layout Components

Note: inlineMessage is deprecated. Use messageLayout instead.

Layout components in ADF UIX include layout elements such as borderLayout and pageHeaderLayout that use named children elements to arrange their child components in predefined, named areas.

Some layout components such as flowLayout and stackLayout arrange their indexed children consecutively in the order in which they are listed. Other layout elements such as tableLayout, rowLayout, and labeledFieldLayout are used to arrange indexed children in tables, rows, and columns.
