Edit Contained Components dialog box
Use this dialog box to add, configure, and delete components within a container component. This dialog box is accessed by clicking the button in the upper left corner of any container component while in Design Mode.
Container components include:
- Notebooks and notebook tabs
- Grids
- Vertical grids
- FlexLayouts
- Infocons
- Group boxes
This dialog box consists of two basic sections:
- The left side provides:
- A list of the contained
components currently defined for the container (Items)
For example, if this dialog box is accessed from a grid, the list displays, in order, all the columns currently defined for the grid.
- These controls at the
bottom:
Control Description/Comments Delete button Deletes the selected component from the list Move Up button Moves the selected component up in the list Move Down button Moves the selected component down in the list Copy/Paste button Copies the selected component to a selected container This button opens the Select Container for Pasted Component dialog box, which allows you to specify where and how the copied component is to be pasted.
Container component display (Read-only) Displays the name of the container to which the contained components are assigned If there are multiple containers, you can select the one you want from the drop-down list.
Add button Adds a contained component to the list
- A list of the contained
components currently defined for the container (Items)
- The right side has two tabs:
- Properties displays a properties sheet for the selected contained component.
- Events displays an events sheet for the selected contained component.
These sheets are identical to their counterparts in the main WinStudio Design Mode property sheet displays. Once the contained component exists, you can configure it in either place and the results are the same.
