 Container
 
 ■ A container is an object upon which other controls can be placed. Forms
   are typically used as containers; however, frames and picture boxes can
   also be used. For example, the form below is a container for two command
   buttons:
 
         ┌│■│         [1] Untitled        │▼││▲│┐
         │                                      ↑
         │                      <  OK  >        ░
         │                                      ░
         │                      <Cancel>        ↓
         │                                      ─
         └←░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░→│
 
 ■ Controls placed on a form or control are said to be "children" of the
   container object. See: ◄Parent and Child Relationships►
