Layout items

Layout items are containers with a body that can hold other form items, in a grid-based layout form.

Layout items can be specified as a tree of nested containers, or as layout tags within a single GRID container.

The next example shows a tree of nested containers, where a GRID and TABLE are included in a VBOX:

LAYOUT
VBOX
 GRID ...
 {
 }
 END
 TABLE ...
 {
 }
 END
END

The next example shows a GRID container including layout tags. The layout tags group form fields in dedicated areas. This syntax is usually more convenient to describe application forms:

LAYOUT
GRID
{
<g g1                     >
 Name: [f01              ]
<                         >
<t t1                     >
[c1  |c2                  ]
<                         >
}
END
END
