What is View control?

"View control" is one of the controls that can be placed on a form and is a component that allows you to embed and display other forms on a form.

By placing multiple View control and creating multiple display frames on the form, you can split the screen and display it.

Static embedding with View control

For example, if you want to make the parts that you want common to all screens, such as menu buttons to be displayed at the bottom of the screen, you can create them as a separate form and then embed them in the View control placed on each form so that they are displayed commonly.

The usage procedure is as follows:

1.Create a normal form (for example, let's use the form name "Form01").

2.Create the form you want to embed commonly (for example, let's name the form "Form99").

3.Paste View control into Form01.

4.Set the properties of View control as follows.

When you set up the above and run it, Form99 will be embedded and displayed in View control pasted into Form01.

Dynamically switch forms to embed in View control

You can freely switch between forms embedded in View control during execution.

For example, you can create one main form that contains common displays such as menus, place View control in the area on this form where you want to display a graphic screen, and then use the screen switching buttons on the main form to switch between the graphic screen forms embedded in the views.

The usage procedure is as follows:

1.Create the form to be displayed as the main form (for example, let's use "Form01" as the form name).

2.Create the forms you want to embed in the main area (View control) (as an example, we will use the form names "Form02", "Form03" and "Form04").

3.Paste View control in the center of Form01. This View control will be the main area.

4.Set the properties of View control as follows.

5.Set the route properties as follows:
 

6.Add three screen switching buttons to Form01 and write the following script in the "OnMouseUp" event of each button.

//Form02 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	::OpenViewForm("","Form02");
}

//Form03 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	::OpenForm("","Form03");
}

//Form04 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	::OpenForm("","Form04");
}

When you execute the above process, Form02 will be embedded in the View control pasted into Form01 and will be initially displayed.
 

When you click the screen change button, the display of View control will change to the target form.

//Form02 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	parent.View01.OpenForm("Form02","subForm02");
}

//Form03 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	parent.View01.OpenForm("Form03","subForm03");
}

//Form04 Call button
event OnMouseUp(button)
{
	parent.View01.OpenForm("Form04","subForm04");
}
