What makes a DockLayoutPanel stretch its child and what prevents an AbsolutePanel from doing so?

Hi,

I know that a DockLayoutPanel stretches its children to use the full
available space. I also know that an AbsolutePanel does not, i. e. it
positions a child with its given size per default at the upper left.

However, what exactly causes this behavior? And how can I manually
stretch a child widget within an Absolutepanel?

Thanks
Magnus
