Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`ABSOLUTE` Allow absolute positioning of every form item.
`TABLE` Use a tabular layout similar to HTML tables, but with much more powerful control over sizing, item visibility and reflow, overflow handling, etc.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - TABLE
```
public static final FormLayoutType TABLE
```
    Use a tabular layout similar to HTML tables, but with much more powerful control over sizing, item visibility and reflow, overflow handling, etc.
  - ABSOLUTE
```
public static final FormLayoutType ABSOLUTE
```
    Allow absolute positioning of every form item. This provides maximum flexibility in placement, with the following limitations:
    .
    - titles, which normally take up an adjacent cell, are not shown. Use StaticTextItems to show titles
    - no automatic reflow when showing or hiding items. FormItem.setLeft() and FormItem.setTop() can be used for manual reflow.
    - only pixel and percent sizes are allowed, no "*". Percent widths mean percentage of the overall form size rather than the column size
    - with different font styling or internationalized titles, items may overlap that did not overlap in the skin used at design time
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static FormLayoutType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (FormLayoutType c : FormLayoutType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static FormLayoutType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
