Layout Managers

IntraWeb uses layout managers to provide the final rendering and formatting of the user interface. In the MVC model, layout managers provide the view layer.

IntraWeb provides the following layout managers:

• TIWLayoutManagerForm - Provides for an XY coordinate layout that replicates the page as designed in the design environment. Supports anchors, aligns, and other advanced features. This is the default layout manager, and if no layout manager is specified by the developer, an implicit instance of this layout manager is created and used by IntraWeb.
• TIWTemplateProcessorHTML - Uses an external HTML file (template) that contains tags to provide the final output. IntraWeb templates are similar to JSP tag files, or WebBroker templates.
• TIWLayoutManagerHTML - Interfaces with the built in WYSIWYG HTML editor available in the IntraWeb/VCL version.
• Custom - Custom layout managers can be developed by descending from the base template processor. Possible implementations include XML, database, or other.

These are layout managers for HTML 4.0 mode. There are also specific layout managers for HTML 3.2 mode.
