Designing eaForms

Top Previous Next

This section provides the eaForms designer with more detail on creating eaForms.

The eaForms Builder is a WYSIWYG form editor which can be used to create a new windows form that will be presented at run-time.

When operating in design mode, eaForms includes an AddIn window Managing form definitions; this window provides the interface where a designer can create and managed a library of eaForms.

With this screen the designer creates a new form using the New button, and then add controls directly to the form using the context menus.

With the form editor the designer can:

•	Add new controls directly to the form

•	Modify the location or size of the control (subject to minimum limits) using the mouse

•	Edit the attributes of the form using the Form Definition Editor

•	Edit the detailed properties of a control using the Control properties grid.

The next few sections provide more detail about designing eaForms.
