SaveContainedForm

Determines whether the layout of contained forms is saved from one session to the next.

SaveContainedForm=on | off

Default value: off
File section: [layout]
Tab and Property in Setup utility: State: Include layout geometry for contained forms
Alias SaveTabForm (deprecated)

Arguments

  • ON—position of the contained form and split bar are saved to the Windows Registry.
  • OFF—contained form state is not stored.

Description

This setting is only applicable if the History setting is on. By default, SaveContainedForm is set off because a contained form may be used in several contexts within an application.

Caution: With SaveContainedForm set on, changing the contained form layout in one place changes it in all other locations, which can have undesirable consequences. It is therefore recommended that if a contained form is used in multiple forms, you keep SaveContainedForm turned off.

Tip: If you need to delete stored layouts, select Delete current layout geometry from settings on app exit in the State tab of the Setup utility.
