public class Form
extends Container

Top level component that serves as the top-most visible entity in the UI (directly embedded into the DTVContainer, this Container handles the menus and title while placing content between them. By default a forms central content (the content pane) is scrollable. Form contains Title bar, MenuBar and a ContentPane. Calling to addComponent on the Form is delegated to the contenPane.addComponent *
