Add base elements (Containers)

Draw a container from the Container menu onto a form.

All form items must be nested within a container.

  1. Open or create a new form.
  2. Select a container from the Container menu and draw out the container on the form canvas. If you are nesting other objects into the container, draw the container first, then drag the other form elements into the new container. The background of the destination container turns a pale yellow when an object can be nested within it.
  3. Set properties on the container as needed. Containers can be resized by selecting one of the corner handles on the container and dragging it to a new size.
