Sharing components between master and derived forms

  1. With the master or derived form open and in Design Mode, select the component you want to share.
  2. In the Shared property field, perform one of these actions:
    • To open the Unsharing Component dialog box and automatically deselect all derived devices, select False.
    • To open the Unsharing Component dialog box and automatically select all derived devices, select True.
    • To open the Unsharing Component dialog box and selectively choose which components are shared and not shared, click the ellipsis (...) button.
  3. Click OK.
Note:  If the component is currently shared, you can select the devices where the component should remain. This component is then no longer shared, and distinct versions exist for each form selected. If the component is currently not shared, selecting Shared replaces the same component on all other versions of this form with the current device's component.
