*The Separator*
	The container defines a scrollable area which can contain a single object, this object could be a frame itself containing as many objects as you want. If the container contents does not fit in the displayable area, horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars are automatically created to allow scrolling through this contents. The figure beside shows a container that contains the frame Measurement as unique child. This frame contains radio buttons, frames, and other controls that can be seen using the scroll bars

Use containers whenever you want to gather many objects in a small window area with scrollbars.

The container can have only one child object. This is usually a CATDlgFrame instance. You can set the container initial dimensions.

You just need to choose the separator style.

pContainer = new CATDlgContainer(iParent, "ContainerId");

You assign the conatiner's initial size using the SetRectDimensions method:

To a given size expressed in pixels:

int Width = 750;   // 750 pixels witdh
int Height = 400;   // 400 pixels height
pContainer->SetRectDimensions(1, 1, Height, Width);

To display the whole container's content:

pContainer->SetRectDimensions(1, 1, -1, -1);

In both cases, the first two arguments must not ne null and are used.
