An XUI container is an object that is used to contain widgets
in an XUI file. This section provides a description of the containers
that are provided by IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank
Transformation Toolkit.

Each XUI file can have only one container as its root container
to hold other widgets or sub-containers. The following four containers
are provided by WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit:
- Panel
- The Panel container is used to place various widgets within several
panels in one XUI file. However, developers usually do not use panels
as the root container of the XUI file. Instead, developers often put
a panel in other containers
- Form
- The Form container is used to fill with other widgets and submit
data. For example, developers usually place widgets like text, label
and combo box in a form container. These widgets are often bound to
predefined data within the transaction .
- Group
- The Group container has a content model which allows data to be
grouped together. The Group functions like the menu, because the user
can use the Group container to classify different types of data.
- TabbedPane
- The TabbedPane container is complex container that has multiple
panes and can be directly dragged into XUI as the root container,
but shows only one pane at a time. It can be different from other
containers in that it can be separated into two widgets.
