/**
 * @class Ext.container.Container
 * @extends Ext.container.AbstractContainer
 * <p>Base class for any {@link Ext.Component} that may contain other Components. Containers handle the
 * basic behavior of containing items, namely adding, inserting and removing items.</p>
 *
 * <p>The most commonly used Container classes are {@link Ext.panel.Panel}, {@link Ext.window.Window} and {@link Ext.tab.Panel}.
 * If you do not need the capabilities offered by the aforementioned classes you can create a lightweight
 * Container to be encapsulated by an HTML element to your specifications by using the
 * <code><b>{@link Ext.Component#autoEl autoEl}</b></code> config option.</p>
 *
 * {@img Ext.Container/Ext.Container.png Ext.Container component} 
 * <p>The code below illustrates how to explicitly create a Container:<pre><code>
// explicitly create a Container
Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', {
    layout: {
        type: 'hbox'
    },
    width: 400,
    renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
    border: 1,
    style: {borderColor:'#000000', borderStyle:'solid', borderWidth:'1px'},
    defaults: {
        labelWidth: 80,
        // implicitly create Container by specifying xtype
        xtype: 'datefield',
        flex: 1,
        style: {
            padding: '10px'
        }
    },
    items: [{
        xtype: 'datefield',
        name: 'startDate',
        fieldLabel: 'Start date'
    },{
        xtype: 'datefield',
        name: 'endDate',
        fieldLabel: 'End date'
    }]
});
</code></pre></p>
 *
 * <p><u><b>Layout</b></u></p>
 * <p>Container classes delegate the rendering of child Components to a layout
 * manager class which must be configured into the Container using the
 * <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> configuration property.</p>
 * <p>When either specifying child <code>{@link #items}</code> of a Container,
 * or dynamically {@link #add adding} Components to a Container, remember to
 * consider how you wish the Container to arrange those child elements, and
 * whether those child elements need to be sized using one of Ext's built-in
 * <b><code>{@link #layout}</code></b> schemes. By default, Containers use the
 * {@link Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme which only
 * renders child components, appending them one after the other inside the
 * Container, and <b>does not apply any sizing</b> at all.</p>
 * <p>A common mistake is when a developer neglects to specify a
 * <b><code>{@link #layout}</code></b> (e.g. widgets like GridPanels or
 * TreePanels are added to Containers for which no <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code>
 * has been specified). If a Container is left to use the default
 * {Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme, none of its
 * child components will be resized, or changed in any way when the Container
 * is resized.</p>
 * <p>Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components.
 * Those that do include {@link Ext.layout.container.Card},
 * {@link Ext.layout.container.Anchor}, {@link Ext.layout.container.VBox}, {@link Ext.layout.container.HBox}, and
 * {@link Ext.layout.container.Table}. For example:<pre><code>
//  Create the GridPanel.
var myNewGrid = new Ext.grid.Panel({
    store: myStore,
    headers: myHeaders,
    title: 'Results', // the title becomes the title of the tab
});

myTabPanel.add(myNewGrid); // {@link Ext.tab.Panel} implicitly uses {@link Ext.layout.container.Card Card}
myTabPanel.{@link Ext.tab.Panel#setActiveTab setActiveTab}(myNewGrid);
 * </code></pre></p>
 * <p>The example above adds a newly created GridPanel to a TabPanel. Note that
 * a TabPanel uses {@link Ext.layout.container.Card} as its layout manager which
 * means all its child items are sized to {@link Ext.layout.container.Fit fit}
 * exactly into its client area.
 * <p><b><u>Overnesting is a common problem</u></b>.
 * An example of overnesting occurs when a GridPanel is added to a TabPanel
 * by wrapping the GridPanel <i>inside</i> a wrapping Panel (that has no
 * <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> specified) and then add that wrapping Panel
 * to the TabPanel. The point to realize is that a GridPanel <b>is</b> a
 * Component which can be added directly to a Container. If the wrapping Panel
 * has no <code><b>{@link #layout}</b></code> configuration, then the overnested
 * GridPanel will not be sized as expected.<p>
 *
 * <p><u><b>Adding via remote configuration</b></u></p>
 *
 * <p>A server side script can be used to add Components which are generated dynamically on the server.
 * An example of adding a GridPanel to a TabPanel where the GridPanel is generated by the server
 * based on certain parameters:
 * </p><pre><code>
// execute an Ajax request to invoke server side script:
Ext.Ajax.request({
    url: 'gen-invoice-grid.php',
    // send additional parameters to instruct server script
    params: {
        startDate: Ext.getCmp('start-date').getValue(),
        endDate: Ext.getCmp('end-date').getValue()
    },
    // process the response object to add it to the TabPanel:
    success: function(xhr) {
        var newComponent = eval(xhr.responseText); // see discussion below
        myTabPanel.add(newComponent); // add the component to the TabPanel
        myTabPanel.setActiveTab(newComponent);
    },
    failure: function() {
        Ext.Msg.alert("Grid create failed", "Server communication failure");
    }
});
</code></pre>
 * <p>The server script needs to return a JSON representation of a configuration object, which, when decoded
 * will return a config object with an {@link Ext.Component#xtype xtype}. The server might return the following
 * JSON:</p><pre><code>
{
    "xtype": 'grid',
    "title": 'Invoice Report',
    "store": {
        "model": 'Invoice',
        "proxy": {
            "type": 'ajax',
            "url": 'get-invoice-data.php',
            "reader": {
                "type": 'json'
                "record": 'transaction',
                "idProperty": 'id',
                "totalRecords": 'total'
            })
        },
        "autoLoad": {
            "params": {
                "startDate": '01/01/2008',
                "endDate": '01/31/2008'
            }
        }
    },
    "headers": [
        {"header": "Customer", "width": 250, "dataIndex": 'customer', "sortable": true},
        {"header": "Invoice Number", "width": 120, "dataIndex": 'invNo', "sortable": true},
        {"header": "Invoice Date", "width": 100, "dataIndex": 'date', "renderer": Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer('M d, y'), "sortable": true},
        {"header": "Value", "width": 120, "dataIndex": 'value', "renderer": 'usMoney', "sortable": true}
    ]
}
</code></pre>
 * <p>When the above code fragment is passed through the <code>eval</code> function in the success handler
 * of the Ajax request, the result will be a config object which, when added to a Container, will cause instantiation
 * of a GridPanel. <b>Be sure that the Container is configured with a layout which sizes and positions the child items to your requirements.</b></p>
 * <p>Note: since the code above is <i>generated</i> by a server script, the <code>autoLoad</code> params for
 * the Store, the user's preferred date format, the metadata to allow generation of the Model layout, and the ColumnModel
 * can all be generated into the code since these are all known on the server.</p>
