Description

The dbContainer class is used to group together data entry objects (DEOs) within an invisible container.

Sample

Object oContainer1 is a dbContainer
    Set Server to oCustomerDD

    Object F1 is a dbform
        Set Location to 10 70
        Set Size to 13 40
        Entry_Item Customer.Name
        Set Label to "Name:"
    End_Object

    Object F2 is a dbform
        Set Location to 25 70
        Set Size to 13 30
        Entry_Item Customer.Id
        Set Label to "Id:"
    End_Object

End_Object

Syntax

Use Windows.pkg

Object object_name is a dbContainer
    Set enabled_state to true|false
    : 
    : DEO objects 
    : 
End_Object

Note

This class is descended from the dbContainer3D class and inherits all of its non-visual attributes. Its abilities to group objects and manipulate them as a single unit are most-important. This class is used when you need to group objects together non-visually. This object must be placed inside a visual container. Child objects will be located relative to this visual ancestor.

This class will rarely be needed. You are encouraged to use visual DEO container objects (dbContainer3d, dbGroup, or dbTabDialog) whenever possible.
