The StructuredCompositeActivityDesigner is the base class for all designers that contain child designers and the child designers are connected to each other using lines rendered on the design surface, called connectors. The class is provided so that activity designer developers can provide a number of activity designer layout types, rather than being tied to the layout provided in the CompositeActivityDesigner class.
