Usage

In a LAYOUT tree definition, use a GROUP container to hold other containers such as a VBOX with children, or a GRID container.

Note: When defining a GROUP container, you cannot set the GRIDCHILDRENINPARENT attribute. This attribute makes sense only for a group item defined with a layout tag contained in a GRID area.

For more details about this item type, see GROUP item type.

Example

GROUP ( TEXT = "Customer" )
  VBOX
    GRID
    {
     ...
    }
    END
    TABLE
    {
     ...
    }
    END
  END
