Class Ext.layout.BorderLayout

This is a multi-pane, application-oriented UI layout style that supports multiple nested panels, automatic split bars between regions and built-in expanding and collapsing of regions. This class is intended to be extended or created via the layout:'border' Ext.Container.layout config, and should generally not need to be created directly via the new keyword.

BorderLayout does not have any direct config options (other than inherited ones). All configs available for customizing the BorderLayout are at the Ext.layout.BorderLayout.Region and Ext.layout.BorderLayout.SplitRegion levels.

The regions of a BorderLayout are fixed at render time and thereafter, no regions may be removed or added. The BorderLayout must have a center region, which will always fill the remaining space not used by the other regions in the layout.

Example usage:

var border = new Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Border Layout',
    layout:'border',
    items: [{
        title: 'South Panel',
        region: 'south',
        height: 100,
        minSize: 75,
        maxSize: 250,
        margins: '0 5 5 5'
    },{
        title: 'West Panel',
        region:'west',
        margins: '5 0 0 5',
        cmargins: '5 5 0 5',
        width: 200,
        minSize: 100,
        maxSize: 300
    },{
        title: 'Main Content',
        region:'center',
        margins: '5 5 0 0'
    }]
});
