Built-in controls and properties

The table is organized into these types:

Panels	Last Child Fill: specify if you want the last child control added to the DockPanel to always fill the remaining space regardless of any other value that you set on the last child control. This ensures that controls are aligned visually on the panel.
Expander	Adds an arrow that, when clicked by a user, shows the control.	Grouping	Is Expanded: If enabled, the control name is visible under the expander.
Grid	A type of panel control that opens a new grid panel control, in the current grid. You can then add other controls to the new grid. Grid panels have the most flexibility because items that you add are aligned along a horizontal or vertical grid.	Panels	Specify the column width and row height for controls on this grid.
GridSplitter	Split the screen into two horizontal or vertical segments. The user can scroll within the segments.	Panels	Select the type of splitter you want to use: Horizontal Vertical Horizontal (Only Handle): Horizontally oriented splitter with no handle lines Vertical (Only Handle): Vertically oriented splitter with no handle lines

Click the Create button to add a child element. You will be prompted to select the type of control to add. This can be any available control. The name you specify for new child control in the Name setting will automatically display next to the type. Configure other settings for the control as needed.
Image	Add and format a graphic. Note: See the Microsoft Developer's Network (msdn.com) for additional information.

Options are: Uniform: The image is scaled so that it fits completely within the output area. The image's aspect ratio is preserved. Uniform to Fill: The image is scaled so that it completely fills the output area while preserving the image's original aspect ratio. Fill: The image is scaled to fit the output area. Because the image height and width are scaled independently, the original aspect ratio of the image might not be preserved. That is, the image might be warped in order to completely fill the output container. None: The image is not stretched to fill the output area. If the image is larger than the output area, the image is drawn to the output area. What does not fit is clipped. StretchDimensions: Determines how the image is scaled. Options are Both, UpOnly, DownOnly. In general, use Both for a small image, DownOnly for a large image.

ScrollViewer	A Scroll View enables content to be displayed in a smaller area than its actual size. When the content of the Scroll Viewer is not entirely visible, the Scroll Viewer displays scroll bars that the user can use to move the content areas that is visible.	Grouping	For each type of Scroll View that you are using, Horizontal or Vertical, select Scroll Viewer visibility: Auto: Scroll bars are visible if needed. Visible: Scrolbars are always visible. Hidden: Scroll bars are always hidden. Disabled: Scrolling is disabled. Note: 1) The Infor Smart Office Design System does not recommend using horizontal scroll viewers. You can use the Hidden or Disabled properties to make sure a type of scroll viewer does not display in a mashup. 2) The Microsoft Developer's Network web site (`msdn.com`) has additional information about scroll viewers
