Hi,

1. From a performance point of view, it is better to place multiple UI elements directly into one large UI container using grid or matrix layout than to nest transparent containers witihin the individual cells of the parent container. In general you should opt for a design that results in the fewest level of nesting of UI containers.

2. Only use transparent containers when they are genuinely required. Containers such as the Group control are composite UI elements based on a transparent container. Therefore it makes no sense to embed a transparent container as the top level child into a Group container, because it already implements one.

The TransparentContainer represents a UI container without any decoration. A TransparentContainer UI element is transparent and can be filled with an any quantity of UI elements (children). In addition, the TransparentContainer UI element allows you to arrange its inserted UI elements through the specified layout.

i dnt think it affects d performance that much,,,

In SAP NetWeaver 04s you can replace Group-UI-Elements with TransparentContainer-UI-Elements of type isLayoutContainer = false to lay out label-field pairs and with header text on top.
