Creating a Grid Only form

To create a grid-only form:

  1. In Design Mode, launch the “New Form Wizard”.
  2. In the first page of the wizard, select the “Create new form” option, and then click “Next” .
  3. In the next page, complete the following required fields:
    • In the “Name” field, perform one of these actions:
      • Select from the drop-down list the name of an existing form to use as the basis for the new form.
      • Form names must be unique.
    • From the “Form Type” drop-down list, select “Grid Only”.
    • From the “Data Source” drop-down list, select an IDO to return the primary collection.
  4. Optionally, specify a default “Device Type” , a Query Form, and any comments.

    Comments are stored with the form definition and do not appear anywhere on the actual form.

  5. Click “Next”.
  6. In the next page of the wizard (“Select Properties”), identify the properties of the IDO that will become grid column components in the new form.

    See “New Form Wizard, Select Properties page”.

    注意： Subcollection properties cannot be used in Grid-Only forms. If any properties in the "included list" are subcollection properties, the wizard ignores them when creating the form.
  7. Click “Next”.
  8. In the next page of the wizard (“Properties”), you can specify:
    • The order in which the properties are listed, which determines the order in which they appear in the grid
    • The captions for properties/components, which become the column headings
    • What component class, if any, is to be applied to each property/component

    For more information, see “New Form Wizard, Properties”.

  9. Click “Next”.
  10. Optionally, to create a template from the new form, select the “Save Template” option.
  11. Click Finish.

WinStudio then creates the form and displays a rough-draft version in Design Mode.
