Publish the Templates
Click Edit on the Templates Application Project that you just uploaded. It contains a single form named Control Templates. Edit this form. Publish the templates making sure you copy the rules associated with each template. For example, to publish the User Information template, drag the entire section onto the Custom palette header (see image below). The Custom header will turn yellow as drag the control over it, indicating you can drop it.
The Publish Control Template wizard will appear. You may enter any tags and description you desire. If there is a Rules area with check boxes, make sure you check them all. Check the read-only check box to manage editing of this template.
...
- To use the templates, create a new application project and a new form. The Form Designer appears.
- Open the Custom section at left. You should see your templates. If they are not visible, click the Search link and select from the list of available templates.
- Drag and drop templates directly into the Designer.
- Save the form and Test it.
- See that the appearance and behavior are both preserved. In particular, rules will be retained.
It's important to note that some aspects of editing will be disabled. For example, you cannot rename or delete a control inside the template. You can change the Label but not the internal name. That's because changing a name or deleting a control could cause the underlying Rules to stop working.
