controlGroup
<controlGroup> represents a control containing a collection of child controls. Control groups can specify hints about layout of child controls within the group (default horizontal and vertical alignment), used when the client rendering is not precise.
The collection of child controls contained within this control group is represented using sub-elements. The coordinate system of child controls is assumed to be relative to the client area of the parent control group.
