Basic Types of Forms and Application Design : What is a form? : Main form
 

Main form

In this architecture a main, controlling form acts as a container for the objects, controls, event handlers, and other components that make up the application. A main form is analogous to an ABL WINDOW with an associated FRAME widget, which is either defaulted or explicitly defined.
The main form type is useful for dashboard applications. All other application forms are children of the main form. To construct your own application-specific forms use the Visual Designer.
