Vision - Container

A Container can contain other components, including other containers. Uses for containers include:

• Organization - Containers can be used to group components together. These components can then be moved, copied, or deleted as a group. Furthermore, they will all be organized inside of their parent container in the project navigation tree, which makes them easier to find.
  
• Re-usability - Containers provide the opportunity to create a complex component that is made up of multiple other components. For instance, if you wanted to make your own custom HOA control, you can put three buttons inside of a container and configure them to all use a 'status' property that you add to their parent Container. Now you have built an HOA control that can be re-used and treated like its own component. Create a date range control that generates a SQL WHERE clause that can be used to control Charts and Tables. Create a label/button control that can be used to display datapoints, and pop up a parameterized window that displays meta-data (engineering units, physical location, notes, etc.) about that datapoint. Creating re-usable controls with Containers containing multiple components is the key to rapid application development.
• Layout - Containers are a great way to improve window aesthetics through borders and layout options.
