Property Value

Type	Description
TemplateContext	A TemplateContext object that indicates the current Frame’s context.

Remarks

A Frame is displayed via a Frame Template in a UI. All Templates are related to particular contexts. So, when a Frame is created, a context must be determined to apply a proper Template. All the contexts are defined by the TemplateContext instances. The following table lists all the context names:

Context	Templates
TemplateContext.ApplicationWindow	LightStyleMainForm LightStyleMainRibbonForm OutlookStyleMainRibbonForm MainFormV2 MainRibbonFormV2
TemplateContext.View	DetailFormV2 DetailRibbonFormV2
TemplateContext.PopupWindow	PopupForm
TemplateContext.LookupControl	LookupControlTemplate
TemplateContext.LookupWindow	LookupForm
TemplateContext.NestedFrame	NestedFrameTemplateV2

Note

Contexts are only used in Windows Forms applications to assign a Template to a Frame. To learn more, refer to the Template Customization topic.
