The scroll area is a control that can contain other controls in a larger area than the size of the scroll area control. The total area of the control can be accessed with scroll bars that will appear automatically if needed. It can have Vertical and / or Horizontal scrolls.
This control area, can also be divided into Sections. The main goal of sections is to dynamically show/hide content to the user. When a section is made invisible, its space will be collapsed and it will not occupy space. For example, if you setup 3 vertical sections, and make the middle one invisible, then it will show section 1 followed by section 3.
