Web2: Choose a layout mode between Fixed and Flex

The announcement says “Choose a layout mode between Fixed and Flex” but searching the LR, Web Quickstart and Web Tutorials for “flex” returns zero hits. Is this documented somewhere?

I think Flex will appear in a later release.

It’s in this release, you have to set it in the Opening event of the view using:

view.Layouttype = WebView.layouttypes.Flex

Is it Flex or Flow?

It looks like is only for WebContainerControl added via EmbedWithin and not for regular design using the IDE.

And the language reference has a link to a page that doesn’t exist: http://documentation.xojo.com/api/user_interface/web/webuicontrol.html.LayoutTypes

For now Flex is only for WebContainer.
