# contain

Any child accessibility elements become children of the new accessibility element.

## Declaration

```swift
static let contain: AccessibilityChildBehavior
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this behavior when you want a view to be an accessibility container. An accessibility container groups child accessibility elements which improves navigation. For example, all children of an accessibility container are navigated in order before navigating through the next accessibility container. var body: some View {     ScrollView {         VStack {             HStack {                 ForEach(users) { user in                     UserCell(user)                 }             }             .accessibilityElement(children: .contain)             .accessibilityLabel("Users")

VStack {                 ForEach(messages) { message in                     MessageCell(message)                 }             }             .accessibilityElement(children: .contain)             .accessibilityLabel("Messages")         }     } } A new accessibility element is created when: The view contains multiple or zero accessibility elements. The view contains a single accessibility element with no children. note: If an accessibility element is not created, the AccessibilityChildBehavior of the existing accessibility element is modified.
