Grid settings layout object

The grid settings layout object is a type of Basic Layout object. These objects can be used to customize how the grid settings dialog is shown in WorkWith, SubWorkWith, and Grid node interfaces.

When generating a grid K2BTools uses the grid settings layout object referenced in the work with layout, sub work with layout, or web panel designer layout (depending on the object generated). The grid settings layout is referenced via the "Grid Settings Layout" property.

The contents of this layout will be placed in the final UI in the location indicated in the grid layouts.
