The FrameForm class is a special case of the SubForm class (see SubForm Class). It encloses the full set of form fields in the frame. This is its only purpose. A FrameForm object cannot have a name or data type.

Each frame must have a single FrameForm object associated with it. To access the FrameForm object associated with the current frame, use the following syntax:

To find the set of fields in a frame, you can look through the ChildFields array associated with the FrameForm object for a frame. (The ChildFields attribute is inherited from the CompositeField object.)

Do not use the FrameForm class to access the attributes of the frame. Instead, use the FrameExec object (see FrameExec Class). For example, to set the location and size of a frame's window, use the attributes defined for the FrameExec object.

In general, you only reference a FrameForm directly when you are creating frames dynamically. In such instances, you create the FrameForm and attach it to the frame.

For a discussion of how to use the FrameForm, see the Programming Guide.
