Creating a query form

To create a query 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:
      • Type a unique name for the new form.

        Form names must be unique. The typical query form name consists of the parent form name appended with "Query".

      • Select from the drop-down list the name of an existing form to use as the basis for the new form.
    • From the “Form Type” drop-down list, select “Query”.
    • From the “Data Source” drop-down list, select an IDO to return the primary collection.

      This must be the same IDO as the primary IDO collection used for the parent form or calling component.

  4. Optionally, specify a default “Device Type” 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”), specify the properties of the IDO that are to be included in any possible query using this form.  

    See “New Form Wizard, Select Properties page”.

  7. Click “Next”.
  8. In the next page of the wizard (“Properties”), you can specify:
    • The order in which the properties are listed

      This affects the order in which properties display on the “Primary Criteria” tab and in the returned “Results”.

    • The captions for properties
    • Whether each properties' values are to be included:
      • On the “Primary Criteria” tab
      • On the “Additional Criteria” tab
      • With the returned “Results” of a query

    See “New Form Wizard, Properties”.

  9. Click “Next”.
  10. To create a template from the new form, select “Save Form Definition Template”.
  11. Click “Finish”.

WinStudio displays the form in Runtime Mode.
