Configure Form View Task Panel

The Configure Form View task panel enables you to define attributes for a form view. A form view is used by the runtime user to input data, to view data, and to select displayed data.

The following table describes the properties and attributes of this model element:

Group	Property	Description
General	Title	The title of the form view, to be displayed at the top of the form. You can either enter a title in the field, or click the browse button to open the Edit Title dialog box and specify a title using a dynamic expression. More information: Edit Title Dialog Box
	Show title	Defines whether the form view title bar is displayed at the top of the form.
	Show toolbar	Defines whether to add a toolbar to the form view.
	Toolbar	If a toolbar is added to the form view, defines whether it is located at the Top or Bottom of the form.
	Editable	Indicates whether users can enter data into the form and change displayed data at runtime. If the form view is editable, you can still make specific controls in the view read-only. You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the form view is editable, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the form view is editable at runtime.
	Visible	Indicates whether the form view is hidden or displayed at runtime. You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the form view is hidden or visible, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the form view is displayed or hidden at runtime.
	Frame style	The color scheme used for the top border and content frame at runtime. The following options are available: Primary: Top border in standard color and content frame in white. White: Top border and content frame in white. Neutral color: Top border and content frame in lighter color. Dark color: Top border and content frame in darker color. No frame: Top border and content frame do not have a specific color scheme (the default window color is used).
Layout	Labels	Defines the location of labels for all controls in the form view. The following options are available: Before controls: Places each label to the left of its control in the form. Above controls: Places each label above its control in the form. Hide: Hides all labels in the form.
	Scale mode	Defines how to scale the form view and its contents. The following options are available: Fixed scale: Displays the controls of the form according to their defined widths and the defined column widths. If the form is wider than the parent container, horizontal scroll bars are added. Auto-fit: Changes the width of the controls and columns in the form to fit them within the width of the parent container. Note The Scale mode setting of the parent container, for example the window or panel in which the form view is located, affects the resizing of the views that it contains, as follows: If the parent Scale mode is set to Auto-fit, then any views in the container are automatically set to Auto-fit, regardless of their individual settings. If the parent Scale mode is set to Fixed scale, then any views in the container are sized according to their individual settings. End of the note.
	Columns	Defines the number of columns in which to lay out the controls of the form.
	Col. widths	This property behaves differently, depending on the number of columns in the form: If the form contains one column and the Scale mode property is set to Fixed scale: Displays the width of the column in pixels. Change the column width by dragging the column border on the Layout board or entering a new width (in pixels). If the form contains more than one column: Displays the width of each column in the form as a percentage of the total width. Click the browse button to open the Customize Column Widths dialog box, in which you can specify the width of each column in the form. More information: Customize Column Widths Dialog Box
