About FormPage components

Form pages are similar to notebook tabs in that they are containers that allow you to reuse screen space. Components contained in a form page are visible and active only when the form page is current. Typically, a series of form pages is used to construct wizard-style interfaces.

You can set up an interface to navigate form pages by creating an event handler with a response type of Goto Form Page. For instance, you can use this response type to handle a push button's primary event. The navigation history of form pages are kept on a stack. To return to the previous form page, generate the standard event StdFormPagePop.

The Sequence property of a FormPage component must be zero-based for each FormPage component.

When building a multi-page form, you can:

  • Add form pages
  • Select form pages for editing
  • Edit a selected form page
  • Delete a selected form page
  • Add components to a specific form page
