Stacked group rendering

Groups render in a native way on front-ends supporting the stacked layout.

Use GROUP containers in your form definition, to control the stacked layout: Fields and other form elements such as buttons can be grouped together by domain.

The header of a group box is defined by the TEXT attribute of the GROUP container.

For example, in a form designed for customer data input, customer identification (number, name) appear in a dedicated group, while address information (street, zip code, state, country fields) may appear under another group:

-- myform.per
LAYOUT
 STACK
  GROUP g1 (TEXT=%"cust.group1")
    EDIT FORMONLY.id, TITLE=%"cust.label.id";
    EDIT FORMONLY.name, TITLE=%"cust.label.name";
  END
  GROUP g2  (TEXT=%"cust.group2")
    LABEL : l_street, TEXT=%"cust.label.street";
    TEXTEDIT FORMONLY.street, HEIGHT=3;
    EDIT FORMONLY.zipcode, TITLE=%"cust.label.zipcode";
    EDIT FORMONLY.state, TITLE=%"cust.label.state";
    EDIT FORMONLY.country, TITLE=%"cust.label.country";
  END
 END
END

-- myapp.str
"cust.group1"        = "Customer id"
"cust.label.id"      = "Id:"
"cust.label.name"    = "Name:"
"cust.group2"        = "Address"
"cust.label.street"  = "Street:"
"cust.label.zipcode" = "Zip Code:"
"cust.label.state"   = "State:"
"cust.label.country" = "Country:"

This code example will render as follows on an iOS mobile device:
