Regardless of layout complexity, our Layout Control allows you to create what you need using a straightforward WYSIWYG approach.

The ability to easily generate layouts is one of the many benefits available to you when using the DevExpress Layout Control. Additional features and benefits include:

• End-user layout customization is available.
• The layout is constructed from groups that arrange elements horizontally or vertically. Since nested groups are supported, you can use this simple model to build layouts of any complexity. Note that the Layout Control automatically creates and deletes groups based on where you drag items, which means you don’t have to worry about its internal structure.
• Layout groups can act like group boxes. You need only specify group title text and change the group's view style via XAML or programmatically.
• You can show splitters to allow for easy resizing of elements and groups even when not in customization mode.
• Element alignment can be specified via XAML or using the automatically displayed hint window.
• Padding and spacing settings can be changed for each layout group.
• If the content does not completely fit into the control's bound, scroll bars will be shown automatically.
• Full support for layout persistence via XML files.
