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.
Note: Each XUI file can have only one container as its root container
to hold other widgets or sub-containers.
Panel
The Panel container is used to place various widgets within
several panels in one View. However, developers usually do not use
panels as the root container of the View. Instead, developers often
put a panel in other containers. The only property that can be set
for a Panel container is its id and the width and height using the
Appearance tab. No events are defined for this type of container.
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 widget can contain other widgets and the
pages of a TabbedPane widget is manipulated through public APIs.
