General design principles

Form designing can be divided into 3 stages:

1. Adding the needed controls.
2. Setting their properties.
3. Saving the configuration.

To add controls to form you should simply drag and drop them from the Controls pane onto your workspace.

The form can be configured in 2 ways:

• through Properties pane.
• through Toolbar's items.

To start configure a control, select it in the Workspace and its properties start to display in the Properties pane. Once visible in the Properties pane, these values can be edited.

To set the same property for all the controls placed onto the workspace you should open Globals tab.
The value specified in Globals tab can be changed for a single control, i.e. when you define a property in Properties tab, the value defined for the same property of the control in the Globals pane will be ignored. But just for this control. It continues to work for other controls placed onto the workspace.

In addition to Property pane you can use the Toolbar's buttons Alignment, Distance to configure controls. Alignment and distance settings can be applied to several controls at a time.

To set alignment of the control(s):

• Select elements you want to align.
• Click the button .
• In the opened dropdown menu select the desired item.

To set the same distance between controls:

• Select the needed elements.
• Click the button .
• In the opened dropdown menu select the desired item.

To delete an element already added to form:

• Select an element you want to delete.
• Click the button .
• After you click the button, a confirm window will appear.
  
  

• In the confirm window, click OK to confirm the operation or Cancel to cancel it.

To save the configuration, click the button from the Toolbar.
If you want to cancel all made actions - just close the window by clicking the button .
