has frevvo has a rich palette of controls (top left panel in the Forms Designer). Most of them are easy and intuitive to use. Simply drag and drop the desired control onto the canvas. We'll take a look at a few controls and their commonly used properties.

You may have radios and checkboxes with many choices. Sometimes you want to lay them out horizontally rather than one below the other. To do this, simply click on the Style Tab in the Properties panel and set the Item Width in %. For example, if you set 25%, you'll notice that 4 (four) choices fit side by side. will frevvo will automatically lay them out intelligently e.g. if one of the labels is much longer than the other, it will be arranged in a sensible way. Be careful when you lay out many such choices side by side if you want your form to be usable on a smart phone.

Drag and drop a Message control from the palette onto the form. Notice that this control has a Message Type property. Experiment with the various types of messages to see what they look like. If you choose one of these standard types for your messages, will frevvo will automatically format them, display a decorator and lay out a nice-looking message on all devices. Of course, you can customize these using the properties available to you in the Style tab. Formatting text in the message body, for example, bold text, lists of instructions, text in different colors etc. is very easy to do. Simply side the toggle to turn on the Rich Text Editor and then click the Edit with rich text editor link to display a pop-up text editor. Knowledge of standard HTML tags is not required.

The validation requirements that this creates are incredibly complicated but you don't have to worry about them. takes frevvo takes care of the details for you and you can be certain that when the form is submitted, it is valid with respect to the criteria defined by the designer.
