      public class SectionStackSection
      extends RefDataClass

  Section descriptor used by a SectionStack to describe a section of items which are shown or hidden together along with their associated header.

  A `SectionStackSection` can't be modified once it's been added to a `SectionStack`, which creates its section header (by default a `SectionHeader`, but see `SectionStack.sectionHeaderClass`). After that, you must call the appropriate `SectionStack` method to modify a section property, or the section header getter method to get the updated property value. As a convenience, we route several `SectionStackSection` setter methods to the `SectionStack` for you after the `SectionStackSection` has been added to it, but with the exception of `items`, you'll always get the original property values when calling a getter directly on a `SectionStackSection`.

  Additional SectionHeader properties set on the SectionStackSection not explicitly documented, such as "iconAlign" or "prompt", are supported - use `setAttribute()`.

    - #### setCanTabToHeader

          public void setCanTabToHeader(java.lang.Boolean canTabToHeader)

          public void setClipTitle(java.lang.Boolean clipTitle)

      If the title for this section header is too large for the available space, should the title be clipped?

      This feature is supported only in browsers that support the CSS UI text-overflow property (IE6+, Firefox 7+, Safari, Chrome, Opera 9+).

      Parameters:
        `clipTitle` - New clipTitle value. Default value is true

    - #### getClipTitle

          public java.lang.Boolean getClipTitle()

    - #### setControls

          public void setControls(Canvas... controls)

      Custom controls to be shown on top of this section header.

      These controls are shown in the `SectionHeader.controlsLayout`.

      Note that this is an init-time property. If you need to dynamically change what controls are displayed to the user, we would recommend embedding the controls in a Layout or similar container. This will allow you to show/hide or add/remove members at runtime by manipulating the existing control(s) set up at init time.

      Parameters:
        `controls` - New controls value. Default value is null
      See Also:
        Custom Controls Example

          public Canvas[] getControls()

      Custom controls to be shown on top of this section header.

      These controls are shown in the `SectionHeader.controlsLayout`.

      Note that this is an init-time property. If you need to dynamically change what controls are displayed to the user, we would recommend embedding the controls in a Layout or similar container. This will allow you to show/hide or add/remove members at runtime by manipulating the existing control(s) set up at init time.

      Returns:
        Current controls value. Default value is null
      See Also:
        Custom Controls Example

      Not shown if `canCollapse` is false.

      Parameters:
        `icon` - New icon value. Default value is "[SKIN]SectionHeader/opener.gif"

Note that if no name is specified for the section, one will be auto-generated when the section is created. This property should be a string which may be used as a valid JavaScript identifier (should start with a letter and not contain space or special characters such as "*").
      Parameters:
        `name` - New name value. Default value is null

    - #### getName

          public java.lang.String getName()

Note that if no name is specified for the section, one will be auto-generated when the section is created. This property should be a string which may be used as a valid JavaScript identifier (should start with a letter and not contain space or special characters such as "*").
      Returns:
        Current name value. Default value is null

    - #### setResizeable

          public void setResizeable(java.lang.Boolean resizeable)

        String

    - #### setExpanded

          public void setExpanded(java.lang.Boolean expanded)

      Sections default to the collapsed state unless `showHeader` is set to `false` in which case they default to the expanded state. This attribute allows you to explicitly control the expand/collapse state of the section by overriding the above default behavior.
      Parameters:
        `expanded` - expanded Default value is false

    - #### setHidden

          public void setHidden(java.lang.Boolean hidden)

      Parameters:
        `hidden` - hidden Default value is false

    - #### setItems

          public void setItems(Canvas... items)

      Assign a new set of Canvases to this section. These Canvases will be shown and hidden together.
      Parameters:
        `items` - list of Canvases that constitute the section

    - #### getItems

          public Canvas[] getItems()

      Return the items in this SectionStackSection
      Returns:
        the items in this SectionStackSection

    - #### addItem

          public void addItem(Canvas item)

      Adds a new Canvas to this section, at the end.
      Parameters:
        `new` - Canvas to add as item

    - #### getSectionStack

          public SectionStack getSectionStack()

    - #### getSectionHeader

          public SectionHeader getSectionHeader()

      Once a SectionStackSection has been applied to a SectionStack, this method may be used to return a pointer to the SectionHeader for this section
      Returns:
        the SectionHeader for the section

    - #### getID

          public java.lang.String getID()

      Optional ID for the section. If `useGlobalSectionIDs` is true, this property will be applied to the generated SectionStackHeader widget as a standard widget ID, meaning it should be unique within a page.

      Backcompat Note: Section stack sections may be uniquely identified within a stack via the `name` attribute (introduced in Jan 2010). Prior to this, the section ID attribute was used in this way (and would not be applied to the section header as a widget ID). For backwards compatibility this is still supported: If `section.name` is unspecified for a section but `section.ID` is set, the ID will be used as a default name attribute for the section. For backwards compatibility we also disable the standard behavior of having the `section.ID` being applied to the generated section header (thereby avoiding the page-level uniqueness requirement) by defaulting `useGlobalSectionIDs` to false.

      Returns:
        String

    - #### setID

          public void setID(java.lang.String ID)

      Optional ID for the section. If `useGlobalSectionIDs` is true, this property will be applied to the generated SectionStackHeader widget as a standard widget ID, meaning it should be unique within a page.

      Backcompat Note: Section stack sections may be uniquely identified within a stack via the `name` attribute (introduced in Jan 2010). Prior to this, the section ID attribute was used in this way (and would not be applied to the section header as a widget ID).

For backwards compatibility we also disable the standard behavior of having the `section.ID` being applied to the generated section header (thereby avoiding the page-level uniqueness requirement) by defaulting `useGlobalSectionIDs` to false.

      Parameters:
        `ID` - ID Default value is null
