The StackLayout is supported only when you use Kendo UI themes.

Initializing the StackLayout

Use the Stack HtmlHelper to add the component and set the desired options:

• Set the Width and Height for the component.
• Set the Orientation to control the layout of the component.
• Add the desired content. Each immediate child element will represent one stack layout item.

The following example demonstrates how to initialize a StackLayout component:

    @(Html.Kendo().StackLayout()
        .Name("stacklayout")
        .Width("100%")
        .Height("100%")
        .Orientation(StackLayoutOrientation.Horizontal)
        .Items(i=>{
            i.Add().Content(@<text>
                    <div style="background-color: aqua;">
                        Aqua colored stack item
                    </div>
                </text>);
            i.Add().Content(@<text>
                    <div style="background-color: cornflowerblue;">
                        Cornflowerblue colored stack item
                    </div>
                </text>);
            i.Add().Content(@<text>
                    <div style="background-color: blue;">
                        Blue colored stack item
                    </div>
                </text>);
        })
    )
