Changing the Width and Number of Columns

The numeric value for the layout is unique and is used as the value for the layout property of the container. Table 3–1 shows the numeric values associated with the number of columns and their widths.

The default layout of the NewsContainer is Thin - Wide - Thin. The Enterprise Sample defines column widths as layout=3 (Thin-Wide-Thin). To extend support for more layouts, refer to Adding New Layouts.
