Containers
Containers are used to divide the screen into smaller areas and group other controls. The containers can contain several other controls, and arrange them side-by-side, either horizontally or vertically. By using containers within containers with different orientation, flexible and complex layouts can be achieved. For more information, see Layout.
There are four types of containers;
Group
The group has no header, border, or background color, and is therefore a non-visible box which is useful to create areas on the screen without uneccessary clutter. The group control can easily be changed into a group box control.
Group box
The group box has a header with title and a border. This makes it useful for creating logical groups with a name on the screen. The group box control can easily be changed into a group control.
Conditional groups
Conditional groups can contain a number of group or group box controls, and displays one of them at a given time. Which one of the groups that is displayed is determined by conditions, and the order of the groups.
Tab sheets
Tab sheets can contain other container controls and displays a tab for each of them. One tab can be active at a given time, and the corresponding container is then displayed with its content.
