The following shows the XAL syntax for an MDI-style application with a tree on the left and some windows in the center of the container:
<rootPane><borderPane>
<tree borderPosition="west"/>
<desktopPane borderPosition="center">
<window>...</window>
</desktopPane>
</borderPane>
...
</rootPane>
This example includes:
- rootPane, a top-level container.
- borderPane, a layout container that manages the layout of the containers and components within the rootPane.
- tree, a component that provides a hierachical representation of data, situated in the west coordinate of the borderPane layout.
- desktop, a panel that can contain windows and dialogs, situated in the center coordinate of the borderPane layout.
- window, a window component contained in the desktopPane.
