Form Controls

The list of Controls in XPOR Object Modeller

The construction of Forms, in XPOR object Modeller, has three necessary layers.

Firstly there is the Form.  You can add more than one Form to a form (!) in which case each Form is displayed as a Tab on the overall Form.  Hence we group the form types under a heading "Tab Types".

Secondly there are the boxes on a form that you position your display items inside.  These boxes don't do anything, other than allow you to create discrete sections on a form, each section containing the things you want to display.  Hence we group these boxes under a Heading "Containers".

Thirdly, there are the actual "controls".

In XPOR we have a lot, ranging from Date Fields, Object pickers, drop downs etc. All of these controls are listed under a heading "Controls"

Form creation interface

The Form interface in Object Modeller allows you to drag Forms / Containers / Controls onto a panel, in the required order.  The Tab Types dragged onto the Form below were two Forms, one Grid and one Map.  Field Set Containers were then added onto the Forms (they can't work on the Grid and Map Controls).  Controls were then added to the two Forms - as can be seen below.

The controls were not bound to any objects properties, nor configured.  This is all demonstrated in the individual Control Help Resources.
