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.

The appearance of the frame changes depending on the visual theme you select. If you select a 3D type theme, the frame will be displayed in a concave-convex appearance.
