Object Groups (Use)

An object group is a container for a group of objects. You define an object group when you want to package related objects so you can copy or subclass them in another module.

Object groups provide a way to bundle objects into higher-level building blocks that can be used in other parts of an application and in subsequent development projects. For example, you might build an appointment scheduler in a form and then decide to make it available from other forms in your applications. The scheduler would probably be built from several types of objects, including a window and canvas, blocks, and items that display dates and appointments, and triggers that contain the logic for scheduling and other functionality. If you packaged these objects into an object group, you could then copy them to any number of other forms in one simple operation.

You can create object groups in form and menu modules. Once you create an object group, you can add and remove objects to it as desired.
