Frame

A frame has no functionality of its own, but is a parent object acting as a container for other controls. When a frame is moved, all of its child controls move with it. A frame still has states, as all other controls do, so it can be distinguished from other controls on a page. See Lockout and Visibility and Hiding and Disabling Controls.

Add a New Frame

1. Select the [Add Frame] tool from the toolbar. When draw mode is enabled and the mouse is hovered over the Page workspace, the mouse changes to a "+" symbol.
2. Simply draw the frame to the size of your choice on the Page workspace. You will be able to draw multiple frame's until you exit draw mode or select a different control type or parent object to add to your configuration.

   

   TIP: The frame can be moved and re-sized after it is drawn so you do not need be completely precise when initially drawing the frame. You can also copy and paste a frame, making it easy to create multiple frames of the same size and location.
