    Demo - "Collapsible" sections of windows

    This demo shows one techinique for creating a collapsible section (Column) within your window.

    To open/close a section, click on the arrow or name of the section.
    Section 2 can also be controlled using the checkbox at the top of the window just to
    show that there are multiple way to trigger events such as these.
    
    Feel free to modify to use the fonts and sizes of your choosing.  It's 1 line of code to make the section.
    It could have been done directly in the layout.
