Adding Controls to Containers

Group controls together by adding them to containers.

  1. In the Device Application Designer Screen Design page, from Palette > Containers, select the container with which to group the controls.
  2. Drag and drop the selected container onto the device screen.
  3. From Palette > Controls, select the corresponding control.
  4. Drag and drop the selected control onto the container. You can add as many controls as you want.
    Note: When containers occupy the entire screen design canvas, it is difficult to add additional controls behind the container. Switch to the None setting for the canvas and use the drag-and-drop method of adding controls to the screen.

  5. (Optional) Right-click the control and select Show Properties View to configure the properties for the control or container.
  6. Select File > Save when you are finished.
