Frames (Magic xpa 3.x)

To create more sophisticated forms, you can use Rich Client Frame Sets. These enable you to divide a task into multiple sections, each of which displays a different program. The programs displayed in each frame must be Rich Client programs or subtasks.

Frames work similarly to subforms. However, with a frame, the user can easily resize each section by dragging the divider bar.

Frames can be nested, and also used in conjunction with subforms and tabs, to create rather elaborate user interfaces. In this example, we use a frame on the left to allow the user to browse Customer, Orders, and Products. The selection is then displayed in the frame on the right.
