This creates a container for element such that calling display on it will produce a window containing element on the screen. It will produce a container for any of the following classes of object:
simple-pane
layout
interface
pinboard-object
menu
menu-item
menu-component
list
In the case of a
list
, the CAPI tries to see what sort of objects they are and makes an appropriate container. For instance, if they were all simple panes it would put them into a column layout.
The arguments
interface-args
will be passed through to the
make-instance
of the top-level interface, assuming that pane is not a top-level interface itself.
The complementary function contain uses
make-container
to create a container for an element which it then displays.
