# Container Controls

Qt Quick Controls offers a selection of container-like controls.

Each type of container can be used to group a set of controls together. The following sections offer guidelines for choosing the appropriate type of container, depending on the use case.

## ApplicationWindow Control

ApplicationWindow creates the root window of an application, and makes it easy to add an optional header and footer to that window.

## Frame Control

Frame is used to layout a logical group of controls together, within a visual frame.

## GroupBox Control

GroupBox is used to layout a logical group of controls together, within a titled visual frame.

## Page Control

Page provides page-specific header and footer items. It is perfectly possible to use ApplicationWindow for setting the header and the footer, but if you have a header and footer which varies per screen, then it is better to use Page.

## Pane Control

Pane provides a background color that matches with the application style and theme. Pane does not provide a layout of its own, but requires you to position its contents, for instance by using a RowLayout or a ColumnLayout.

## ScrollView Control

ScrollView provides scrolling for user-defined content.

## StackView Control

StackView organizes content pages into a stack using a last-in-first-out principle: the last item to be "pushed" onto the stack is the first one to be removed, and the top-most item is always the one that is visible.

## SwipeView Control

SwipeView organizes content pages into a swipable strip.

## TabBar Control

TabBar organizes content pages into tabs.

## ToolBar Control

ToolBar is a container of application-wide and context-sensitive actions and controls.
