Frames/3D frame control

Frames (Basic)

The Frame control, 3D frame control, is a control that can be used for various purposes. Frames are suitable for bundling and expressing multiple parts with similar purposes. 3D frames can be used to create a taut screen layout effect by skillfully arranging three-dimensional panels on the screen.
