Control Structure

The sap.f.FlexibleColumnLayout contains 3 instances of sap.m.NavContainer – one for each column.

It is logically similar to sap.m.SplitContainer, however, there are two main differences:

• Displays up to 3 columns side by side (as opposed to 2 columns)
• The width of the columns is not fixed, but flexible (determined by the layout property)

The following table respresents how the FlexibleColumnLayout roughly relates to the NavContainer and SplitContainer controls.

Control	API	Number of Pages Displayed
sap.m.NavContainer	pages (aggregation)	1 page at a time
sap.m.SplitContainer	masterPages (aggregation) detailPages (aggregation)	Up to 2 pages at a time (2 instances of NavContainer)
sap.f.FlexibleColumnLayout	beginColumnPages (aggregation) midColumnPages (aggregation) endColumnPages (aggregation) layout (property of type sap.f.LayoutType, determining the relative widths of the 3 NavContainers)	Up to 3 pages at a time (3 instances of NavContainer)
