After some homework, we came up with some qualifying information on FXML containers. Pretty much for the same reason given above by @user3403469. In the Scene Builder, there's a long list of 'containers'. Imho, only these 9 elements and Pane qualify as layout container, as they inherit from

... parent for all Pane classes. While both, Pane and Control inherit from Region only the Pane child-classes have layout properties.

You can consider that Control child-classes more or less inherit Events and actions. Layout like things need to come from the encapsulating region, and the only thing with layout elements available to wrap a 'Control' is-a 'Pane'.

• javafx.scene.layout.Pane

These FXML elements would be the bespoke 'layout managers' described in the @jewelsea's answer and elsewhere.

I guess 'Control' containers are still containers in FXML. It seems that they need to be 'inside' a panel to do good ;-)

Corrections and comment welcome.
