I haven't figured out the gist of container controls. I've tried to
use them several times and found that I was using the wrong tool for
the job.
I've thought that I might use a container control when I've had
several virtually identical groups of controls. In the past I've
placed all of these on a parent of some sort (perhaps a groupbox),
and made the parent and each child component control part of a
control array by setting its index to 0. I've made clones of the
group of controls by copying and pasting the parent (groupbox): each
child will be pasted and will be part of a control array with a
matching index.
It seemed to me that a container control would be the more elegant
way of doing this, but container controls can't be part of control
arrays. How do you clone a container control and how do you address a
particular clone?
Can anyone give some examples of how container controls are
effectively used? Or describe the situations where they are best used?
