Frame Control

The Frame Control will show a box that can display any user form, within the project.

The Frame Control displays a preview of the target form and also gives layout information during design mode.

The information given includes the Name of the target form and its actual Width and Height.

This information is displayed during design mode in the Form Designer along with a background preview of the target form.

Once the user form enters Test Mode the information is hidden and the target form becomes operational.

When viewed in a browser two Frame Controls cannot display the same Form.

The Error Result, of controls being displayed in the Frame Control, are not passed into Frame Controls.

If any controls, displayed in the Frame Control, are in error this is to be indicated we recommend passing the errors into variables and then into the Frame Control or the User Form it exists on.

This control does not have a caption property. Consider adding a label control if a caption is required.
