Adding Container Controls

Container controls represent containers for other controls. The container controls are as follows.

A container control must be added before the controls that it is to contain. When a container control is in place, other controls can be added within its bounds.

You cannot use the Ctrl+drag keyboard action to move or copy selected controls that have different parents. You can, however, copy and paste controls with different parents.

For details about docking of Frame and JadeDockContainer controls, see "Allowing Control Docking", later in this chapter.

The following image shows an example of Button, CheckBox, and ListBox controls within a GroupBox control.

To move an existing control in a container control, use the mouse to drag the control.
