| ApplyProperties(ContainerProperties) | Applies a set of properties to the IPContainer |
| AttachedControlWidth | Gets the width of any controls attached to this IPControl.
(Inherited from IPControl.) |
| ContainerLayout | Gets or sets the layout associated with an instance of a

any sub forms or sub grids. |
| SetBindings(IPContainer) | Creates the appropriate binding for the IPControl. (Inherited from IPControl.) |
| SetFocusTo(Persistent) | Sets the focus in the container to a particular object.
|
| SetFocusTo(Persistent, IPersistateList) | Sets the focus in the container to a particular object showing
within a particular collection. |
| ShouldResize | Gets or sets a value determining how the control should resize
