Command
The Container gadget allows the hosting of an external Control, e.g. a PMLNet, control inside a PML defined form. It allows you to add an external .Net control, which may raise events that can be handled by PML. In order to customise the context menus of the .Net control, the Container may have a PML popup menu assigned to it. This is shown when the .Net control raises a 'popup' event.

Notes:
1.
By default the Container will be enclosed in a box, but you can select NOBOX or INDENT.
2.
Only PMLNet controls are supported.
3.
'handle' is the integer token identifying the control.
4.
Positioning must be specified before size (<vshape>).
5.
Dock and Anchor are supported to allow intelligent resize behaviour. The enclosed control must support resizing and is usually set as Dock fill, so that it follows size changes of the Container.
