LuaContainerControl

This type represents the base for containers. Containers are the building blocks for any menu elements and should be used to build complex custom controls that combine two or more subcontrols (e.g. a checkbox and it's label).

This is just a container control type and inherits ControlContainer, to learn how to create custom containers, see LuaContainerProto documentation. It is usually best used alongside a Layout.
