Fields and Field Groups subpattern
This article provides information about the Field and Field Groups form subpattern. This is the most common data entry subpattern. It uses a dynamic number of columns to present multiple fields or groups of fields.
Usage
Field and Field Groups is the most common data entry subpattern and uses a dynamic number of columns to present multiple fields or groups of fields. This subpattern is not used with controls that have dynamic height or width (for example Grid, Tree, RadioButton, ListBox, or ListView), or controls that have larger height or width (for example, Chart). The group controls within this pattern can be used either to group fields under a label or to bind to a table field group.
Typical contents
- Groups or Fields as immediate children of the FastTab
- Groups containing Fields
- Can contain other subpatterns:
- Horizontal fields and button group

- Changed from fixed columns to dynamic columns.
