Canvas Type Property

Description

Specifies the type of canvas, either Content, Stacked, Vertical Toolbar Canvas, or Horizontal Toolbar Canvas. The type determines how the canvas is displayed in the window to which it is assigned, and determines which properties make sense for the canvas.

Content

The default. Specifies that the canvas should occupy the entire content area of the window to which it is assigned. Most canvases are content canvases.

Stacked

Specifies that the canvas should be displayed in its window at the same time as the window's content canvas. Stacked views are usually displayed programmatically and overlay some portion of the content view displayed in the same window.

Vertical Toolbar Canvas

Specifies that the canvas should be displayed as a vertical toolbar under the menu bar of the window. You can define iconic buttons, pop-lists, and other items on the toolbar as desired.

Horizontal Toolbar Canvas

Specifies that the canvas should be displayed as a horizontal toolbar at the left side of the window to which it is assigned.

Tab Canvas

Specifies that this canvas will be a container for one or more tab pages.
