2 visible at any given time.  This layout style is most commonly used for wizards, tab implementations, etc.
3 This class is intended to be extended or created via the layout:'card' <a href="output/Ext.Container.html#Ext.Container-layout" ext:member="layout" ext:cls="Ext.Container">Ext.Container.layout</a> config,
4 and should generally not need to be created directly via the new keyword.</p>
5 <p>The CardLayout's focal method is <a href="output/Ext.layout.CardLayout.html#Ext.layout.CardLayout-setActiveItem" ext:member="setActiveItem" ext:cls="Ext.layout.CardLayout">setActiveItem</a>.  Since only one panel is displayed at a time,
6 the only way to move from one Component to the next is by calling setActiveItem, passing the id or index of
7 the next panel to display.  The layout itself does not provide a user interface for handling this navigation,
8 so that functionality must be provided by the developer.</p>
9 <p>In the following example, a simplistic wizard setup is demonstrated.  A button bar is added
10 to the footer of the containing panel to provide navigation buttons.  The buttons will be handled by a
11 common navigation routine -- for this example, the implementation of that routine has been ommitted since
12 it can be any type of custom logic.  Note that other uses of a CardLayout (like a tab control) would require a
13 completely different implementation.  For serious implementations, a better approach would be to extend
14 CardLayout to provide the custom functionality needed.  Example usage:</p>
15 <pre><code><b>var</b> navHandler = <b>function</b>(direction){
16     <i>// This routine could contain business logic required to manage the navigation steps.</i>
17     <i>// It would call setActiveItem as needed, manage navigation button state, handle any</i>
18     <i>// branching logic that might be required, handle alternate actions like cancellation</i>
19     <i>// or finalization, etc.  A complete wizard implementation could get pretty</i>
20     <i>// sophisticated depending on the complexity required, and should probably be</i>
21     <i>// done as a subclass of CardLayout <b>in</b> a real-world implementation.</i>
