Title: How to group controls inside frame?
Post by: zasanil on November 16, 2016, 07:03:01 AM
I searched but couldn't find this answer. It's pretty basic but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a few checkboxes in a modal form. I added a frame and I want to group the checkboxes inside the frame, so that if I move the frame around the checkboxes will go with it. How do I do this?
Thanks!

Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but what is the workflow that you want to solve? How often and why you want to move the "frame+controls"?

You could put the checkboxes on a tab page, then the tab page determines their position relative to the other controls on the parent form.

The functionality would be similar to what I can accomplish in netbeans. If all the controls are in a frame, I can more easily position and copy/paste groups of controls. Also, by programmatically hiding a frame, all the "sub-frame" items would be hidden also.
Maybe the tab frames are the way to do it.
Thanks!
