- Start by performing one of these steps:
- In the web client, launch the Web Designer, then open the form that you want to modify.
- In Windows client, open the form that you want to modify, then go into Design Mode.
- In the Toolbox, select the type of component that you want to add.
- Perform one of these actions:
- To display the component at its default size, click on the form where you want the top left corner to be.
- To draw the component at the size you want, click-and-drag the component where you want it to display.
Note: Regardless of the action you perform, the point where you click becomes the upper left corner of the component.
- In the Component properties sheet, specify the properties of the component, as desired.
- Save your changes to the form.
- Close the designer.
- Open the form and verify that your changes were made.
Note: To see the changes, ensure that you first unload the global form objects.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop a collection property onto the form to create a component. When you do that, an edit or combo box component, a static component, and in some cases, a grid component and caption, are all created, based on the property definition.
