Summary

A control that contains other controls.

Syntax

group

Description

Use the group object type to hold sets of controls, radio-button clusters, menu bars, and controls to be displayed on more than one card.

A group is a set of controls that has been made into a single control. You can select, move, resize, or copy the group, and all the controls in it come with the group. You can show a border around the group (using its border property), a label (using the showName property), or scrollbars.

Groups can contain any type of control (including other nested groups).

When referring to a group using the synonyms background, bkgnd, or bg, the reference is to one among the groups in a stack, rather than to one among the groups on a card. For example, the object reference background 1 indicates the first group in the current stack, not the lowest-layered group on the current card.

Examples

set the showBorder of last group to true
