AxSection

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

The AxSection component acts as a container for groups of other controls. The AxSection component can be placed in only an AxMultiSection component. AxGroup components are placed inside the AxSection. AxMultiColumn components are also placed inside the AxSection to provide multiple columns for the section.

The AxSection can display summary values (called FastTabs) in the header of the section. You may have to set the FastTabSummary property of each AxBoundField to have the specific field appear in the summary.
