Contained Form

A contained form is a secondary, non-modal window that is displayed in a form container widget, or as a tab in a tab widget. It is defined by setting the window property Window Type to Contained.

Description

When Window Type is set to Contained, the following properties are automatically set, and cannot be modified:

Property Value
Caption False
Resizable False
Modality & Attachment Non-modal, Attached
Is Independant Form False

Note:  A contained form with split bars should have a layout that fits the widget, otherwise the runtime form instance may be larger than the limits defined by the split bars. For example, don't make the contained form fit in a portrait Tab widget and later use it in a landscape Form Container. Uniface does not store the layout of split bars when they are placed on a contained form.
