Each type of container can be used to group a set of controls together. The following sections offer guidelines for choosing the appropriate type of container, depending on the use case.
ApplicationWindow Control▲
ApplicationWindow creates the root window of an application, and makes it easy to add an optional header and footer to that window.
Frame Control▲
Frame is used to layout a logical group of controls together, within a visual frame.
GroupBox Control▲
GroupBox is used to layout a logical group of controls together, within a titled visual frame.
Page Control▲
Page provides page-specific header and footer items. It is perfectly possible to use ApplicationWindow for setting the header and the footer, but if you have a header and footer which varies per screen, then it is better to use Page.
Pane Control▲
Pane provides a background color that matches with the application style and theme. Pane does not provide a layout of its own, but requires you to position its contents, for instance by using a RowLayout or a ColumnLayout.
ScrollView Control▲
ScrollView provides scrolling for user-defined content.
StackView Control▲
StackView organizes content pages into a stack using a last-in-first-out principle: the last item to be "pushed" onto the stack is the first one to be removed, and the top-most item is always the one that is visible.
SwipeView Control▲
SwipeView organizes content pages into a swipable strip.
TabBar Control▲
TabBar organizes content pages into tabs.
ToolBar Control▲
ToolBar is a container of application-wide and context-sensitive actions and controls.
