Creating a Custom Container

Use

A custom container is a control in which you can place other controls. It allows the screen framework to resize and compress controls at runtime.

Note

For more information about the control technology, see SAP Control Framework .

Prerequisites

You have opened the graphical layout editor of the Screen Painter in change mode.

Procedure

In the Element Palette, choose Custom Control.
The cursor changes its shape.
Use the cursor to position the container on the screen and drag it out to the required size.
Change the size and the position of the container, if required.
Enter the name of the container.
Specify the resizing attributes.

Result

You have created a custom container. The area in the Screen Painter is a placeholder for the control that you can embed there. The custom container is referred to as the parent of the control or controls that are to be embedded in it.
