Defining Page Windows

To define a page window, allocate a logical window to a physical page and specify the position and size of the window (the window is logical, because you define it only once in the entire form by specifying name and type, but not its usage). However, the size is limited by the page format selected in the header data.

Choose  Goto  Page Windows . Assign at least one logical window to each logical page:

1. Choose  Edit  Create Element , or F5. A list of defined logical windows appears. Select the desired logical window from the list and choose F2 or Choose, or double-click the desired logical window.

2. Enter valid values in the fields displayed in the lower half of the screen. The unit of measurement is set by the system.

3. Specify the position of the selected window on the page and the dimensions of the window.

To define page windows for the next page, you must first select the next page. Choose  Goto  Pages  and select the next page. Then choose  Goto  Page Windows  and repeat the steps above. Repeat steps 1 to 3.

When you define page windows, you can use an additional attribute - multiple columns. To do this, define an area on a page and specify the position of the main window in this area.

Save your form by choosing F11 or by choosing  Form  Save  or  Form  Save As .

To delete a selected element, choose  Edit  Delete Element .
