Working With Controls Form Designer

To view and edit control property values in the control forms:

  • To move a control:
    1. Click a control and drag it.
    2. Drop the control on any location that is highlighted when the cursor hovers over it.

      Existing controls are moved automatically if necessary.

  • To delete a control:

    The Web Form Designer permits you to hide controls but not delete them. Use Infor CRM SLX Application Architect if you must delete a control.

  • To hide a control:
    1. Select the control, and select the Advanced tab.
    2. In the Appearance group, clear the Visible property field.
    3. To reuse the space occupied by the hidden control, move the control to another location such as the bottom of the page. Use Infor CRM SLX Application Architect if you must delete a control.

      Add a control/data field

  • To change the size of a control:
    1. Select the control, and select the Layout tab.
    2. In the Size group, change the Row Span or Column Span properties as necessary.

  • To change the label on a control:
    1. Select the control, and select the Basic tab.
    2. In the Appearance group, change the Caption property as necessary.
  • To make a control's data read-only:
    1. Select the control, and select the Basic tab.
    2. In the Behavior group, check the Read Only field.
