Form Canvas

Previous  Home topic  Next  Print this topic Send Feedback

The form canvas is located in the central frame of the Form Designer. The contents of the form canvas depend on the selected view. For example:

 

In Layout view, the report canvas contains the layout objects and visual look of the report.
In Behavior view, the canvas contains the behavior commands for a report event.
In Workflow view, the canvas contains the workflow diagram or sequence of workflow stages.

 

 

Maximizing the Canvas Area

 

When working with smaller PC display sizes you may need more room for designing your form. To control the size of the Toolbox/Browser or Properties bar:

 

Double-click in the empty gray area at the top of the Layout canvas. The Toolbox/Browser and Properties bars will be hidden. If already hidden, they will be displayed again.
Double-click in the gray area at the top of either the Toolbox or the Properties bar to hide that bar.

Panel Double-Click

From the View menu, select the bars to show.
