public abstract class ControlLayoutManagerBase : Infragistics.Win.UltraComponentBase, Infragistics.Shared.IUltraComponent, Infragistics.Win.Layout.ILayoutContainer
The ControlLayoutManagerBase component is an abstract base class for a component that utilizes a Infragistics.Win.Layout.LayoutManagerBase derived layout manager for controlling the position and size of controls within a specific ContainerControl. The ContainerControl property must be set so the component knows which controls to arrange.
At design time, the component adds 3 extender properties to each control within the associated ContainerControl. IncludeInLayout is used to indicate whether the control should be arranged by the component. By default, all controls within the ContainerControl are arranged by the component. MinimumSize is used to indicate to the associated layout manager what is the minimum size that the control should be displayed at. PreferredSize is used to indicate the size at which the control would prefer to be set. Since these are extender properties, if you need to access the values at runtime, you must use the corresponding get/set methods on this component (e.g. to access the IncludeInLayout property, you would use the GetIncludeInLayout and SetIncludeInLayout methods).
The component includes a set of methods that may be used to control when the arrangement of the controls will occur. SuspendLayout is used to prevent the component from arranging the controls. This can be useful when programatically adding controls or initializing the layout properties of many controls within the ContainerControl. In order to have the component resume processing layout requests, you must invoke the ResumeLayout(Boolean) method. The PerformLayout(Boolean) method can be used to explicitly force a layout to occur.
