# Structure

The **CardListViewVisualItem** element extends the **IconListViewVisualItem** class used by **RadListView** control. Hence, most of the functionality already defined for **RadListView** when set up in *IconsView* will also be valid for the **RadCardView** control. **RadLayoutContol** is responsible for the setting up and arranging the elements of **RadCardView** in a complex layout always adjusting to the available space.
