    /**
     * Base class for any Ext.Component that may contain other Components. Containers handle the basic behavior of
     * containing items, namely adding, inserting and removing items.
     *
     * The most commonly used Container classes are Ext.panel.Panel, Ext.window.Window and
     * 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
     * {@link Ext.Component#autoEl autoEl} config option.
     *
     * The code below illustrates how to explicitly create a Container:
     *
     *     @example
     *     // 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'
     *         }]
     *     });
     *
     * ## Layout
     *
     * Container classes delegate the rendering of child Components to a layout manager class which must be configured into
     * the Container using the `{@link #layout}` configuration property.
     *
     * When either specifying child `{@link #items}` 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 `{@link #layout}` 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 **does not apply any sizing** at all.
     *
     * A common mistake is when a developer neglects to specify a `{@link #layout}` (e.g. widgets like GridPanels or
     * TreePanels are added to Containers for which no `{@link #layout}` has been specified). If a Container is left to
     * use the default {@link Ext.layout.container.Auto Auto} scheme, none of its child components will be resized, or changed in
     * any way when the Container is resized.
     *
     * Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components. Those that do include
     * Ext.layout.container.Card, Ext.layout.container.Anchor, Ext.layout.container.VBox,
     * Ext.layout.container.HBox, and Ext.layout.container.Table. For example:
     *
     *     //  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);
     *
     * 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.
     *
     * **_Overnesting is a common problem_**. An example of overnesting occurs when a GridPanel is added to a TabPanel by
     * wrapping the GridPanel _inside_ a wrapping Panel (that has no `{@link #layout}` specified) and then add that
     * wrapping Panel to the TabPanel. The point to realize is that a GridPanel **is** a Component which can be added
     * directly to a Container. If the wrapping Panel has no `{@link #layout}` configuration, then the overnested
     * GridPanel will not be sized as expected.
     *
     * ## Adding via remote configuration
     *
     * 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:
     *
     *     // 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");
     *         }
     *     });
     *
     * 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:
     *
     *     {
     *         "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}
     *         ]
     *     }
     *
     * When the above code fragment is passed through the `eval` 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. **Be sure
     * that the Container is configured with a layout which sizes and positions the child items to your requirements.**
     *
     * **Note:** since the code above is _generated_ by a server script, the `autoLoad` 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.
