| Object Model > True DBInput 8.0 Controls > TDBContainer3D |
The TDBContainer3D control is a specially designed and optimized 3D effect container for all of the True DBInput controls.
The following objects and collections make up the TDBContainer3D control:
Child Object
Children Collection
Effect Object
Effects Collection
The Effect object encapsulates 3D display styles for a TDBContainer3D control and the Child objects that represent contained controls. When a TDBContainer3D object is created, it contains three built-in effects. You can modify or delete the built-in effects or add your own effects at either design time or run time.
The TDBContainer3D stores all built-in and user-defined Effect objects in the Effects collection. You can access the members of this collection by key name or index at run time, and then apply them to the CtrlEffect or ChildrenEffect properties of the container or the Effect property of the Child object. This collection is accessed using the Effects property.
TDBContainer3D supports applying user defined 3D effects to individual child controls. Each style applied to a child control is represented by a Child object and contains a group of 3D effects that applies to child controls as a unit.
The TDBContainer3D control maintains a Children collection to hold and manipulate Child objects. This collection is accessed using the Children property. When a TDBContainer3D control is created, the Children collection is initially empty.
