From the Palette

Initially, a form is created with no controls except for a Submit and Cancel button. You must add controls to the form in order to make it useful. Controls can be dropped from the palette or generated from a schema.

As you begin to drag a control from the Palette, you’ll see this [[Image:Action_stop.png]]   icon, which means the control is not yet over a droppable area. You must drop controls into the body of the form; you can’t drop them into the toolbar nor can they be dropped below the Submit and Cancel buttons. [[Image:dragdrop1.png]]

Image Added

As you bring the control over the body of your form, the  icon will change to one of the icons below:  

  • [[Image:Arrow_up.png]] This means your control will be placed above the control over which you are hovering. You’ll see this icon when you drag the control over the top half of a droppable area. 
  • [[Image:Arrow_down.png]] This means your control will be placed below the control over which you are hovering. You’ll see this icon when you drag the control over the bottom half of a droppable area.
  • [[Image:Arrow_in.png]] If you are hovering over a group control--tab, panel, section or repeat--this means your control will be placed inside the group control.  (If other controls already are inside your group control, this icon appears only when you hover over the group control header and means your control will be placed inside the group, at the top. You’ll see the [[Image:Arrow_up.png]]  and [[Image:Arrow_down.png]] icons as you hover over any controls inside your group control so you can govern exactly where inside the group control your new control will go.)

[[Image:dragdrop2.png]]Image Added

If you are not dragging your control over a group control, this means your control will be placed at the top of your form. Anywhere to the left of the print [[Image:printer.gif]] icon is a droppable area.
