Container on forms?
- Thread starter Keepontrying
- Start date
- Status
x = CREATEOBJECT('form')
x.Show
x.AddObject('MyContainer','container')
x.MyContainer.visible = .t.
This creates a form and adds a container. In your specific instance - you need to replace 'container' with the name of the container you wish to add from your classlib, and adjust its positioning, etc.

Jim,
Thank you for your reply. Any information about replacing the container with another?
Example
container 1 is currently displaying on the form
user click on a option
container 1 is now replace with container 2
so if this possible how will I do this?
Thanks for any input

Hi JOhn,
YOu can drop a container with the code..
ThisForm.RemoveObject(myContainer)
and you can add another with the above code suggested.
HOwever, you can also think of putting all the containers in the form and making their VISIBLE = .f. by default. Then based on whatever user choice, make the relevant containers visible = .t.

Just to add to ramani's reply.
I once wrote an application that displayed questions on a form. The questions were table driven and could be different types. (combo box, option groups, check box, text, etc.)
Obviously, this could get out of control after answer just a few questions. Therefore, I saved the name of the control(s) into an array property on the form. Before building the next question, I had to destroy the prior question (object) using ramani's suggestion, but tweaked to include the value in the array.
ThisForm.RemoveObject(Thisform.myContainerArray)
