public interface UiWidgetAbstractButtonContainer
extends UiWidgetDynamicPanel<UiWidgetRegular>, ButtonContainer

This is the interface for a dynamic panel that shows a number of buttons. To group related buttons in a UiWidgetButtonGroup you may use startGroup() and ButtonContainer.endGroup().
ATTENTION:
For flexibility there is no technical restriction so that #addChild(UiWidgetRegular) will only take buttons and related widgets. For usability you should however not misuse this to add fields or other arbitrary widgets to this widget.
