Container property

Use the Container property to specify the name of a component that is the container for the current component.

Certain types of components must be placed within another component that functions as a container.

• Grid columns must be contained within a grid component.
• Notebook tabs must be contained within notebook components.
• Virtually any other type of component can be contained within:
  • Notebook tabs: Only those components contained by the current tab are visible to the user.
  • FlexLayout components
  • Form page components: Only those components contained by the current page are visible to the user.
  • Group boxes

The container-contained relationship is usually established by creating the contained component on the container. This relationship can be maintained either by modifying the contained component's Container property or by modifying the container's “Contained Components” property.

The tab order of the container must precede the tab order of its contained components.
