Hi Azra,

from the docs:

SAP Custom Container

The SAP Custom Container allows you to display controls in an area defined on a normal screen using the Screen Painter.

Class: CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER

SAP Docking Container

The SAP Docking Container allows you to attach a control to any of the four edges of a screen as a resizable screen area. You can also detach it so that it becomes an independent amodal dialog box.

Class: CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER

SAP Splitter Container

The SAP Splitter Container allows you to display more than one control in a given area by dividing it into cells.

Class: CL_GUI_SPLITTER_CONTAINER

For more see here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/2955360b00a115e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm

Hi,

SAP Container

Use

A SAP Container is a control that accommodates other controls, such as the SAP Tree Control, SAP Picture Control, SAP Textedit Control, SAP Splitter Control, and so on. It manages these controls logically in a collection, and provides a physical area in which they are displayed.

All controls live in a container. Since containers are themselves controls, you can nest them. The container is the parent of the control within it.

There are five kinds of SAP Containers:

SAP Custom Container

The SAP Custom Container allows you to display controls in an area defined on a normal screen using the Screen Painter.

Class: CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER

SAP Docking Container

The SAP Docking Container allows you to attach a control to any of the four edges of a screen as a resizable screen area. You can also detach it so that it becomes an independent amodal dialog box.

Class: CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER

SAP Splitter Container

The SAP Splitter Container allows you to display more than one control in a given area by dividing it into cells.

Class: CL_GUI_SPLITTER_CONTAINER
