Form Layout : Intelligent Resizing : More Complex Frame Docking
More Complex Frame Docking
The example in this section constructs the form shown below, using the principles of the previous section.
It consists of a simple horizontal frame stack, with the central frame (of type panel with a 3D indented border) housing a vertical frame stack.
The frame 'Variable Frame' has Anchor all, and so will resize as the form resizes.
Note:
All the docked frames could have been of type panel with no border, which would remove all the frames and titles.
Figure 17:11.
