palette offers a rich variety of controls that let you create virtually any form. All controls provide functionality as soon as you drop them into your form but need to be customized (edited) to suit the form you are designing.

The purpose of each control is described below.

The control options default to "true=Yes" and "false=No". When you drag the control from the palette, only the "Yes" option will be visible. You can change the option labels from Yes and No to whatever you want. It is important to note changes to the label for false are irrelevant as it will never be visible on the form. The option values cannot be changed and will always stay as true and false. Blank labels for options are not allowedChecking the “Yes” checkbox of the Boolean control results in a true value in the XML document.

...

Type a percentage in the tab group’s Width property field. With five tabs, for example, typing 19% will cause each individual tab to take up 19% of your form’s width. As with panels you must account for space consumed by tab borders—so if you try to set the width to 20% the five tabs won’t fit on one row.

Panels

Use panel controls to create columns. If you want two columns in your form, drag in two panels; drag in three panels for a three-column layout, and so on.

...

If you want to rearrange the order of your panels, be aware of ' drag-and-drop restriction that prevents you from dropping a control below a group control. If you have three columns and want the middle column at the far right, you must drag the middle column above whichever control is directly beneath your panels. (If you haven’t dragged other controls into your form, drop the middle column over the submit button.)  Also, in a three- or four-column scenario if you want one to want to move one of the middle columns or the right-most column to the far left, you must drag and drop it above your left-most column.

To delete a column in the table, click on the red  in the top right corner of the column.

Repeats

Say you want users to be able to enter one or more addresses, phone numbers, or other data. With repeating controls, your form can dynamically display as many controls as a user needs rather than always showing extra input controls that may not be needed.
