Building
a style from scratch
Once you understand how form styles work, you can build one from
scratch.
To build a form style from scratch:
-
Create a new window.
-
Place a DataWindow control in the window.
-
In the Properties view for the control, name the control using
one of the special names.For the list of special names, see Naming the DataWindow controls in a
form style. -
Change properties for the control as desired.
For example, you can add vertical and horizontal scroll
bars.Do not associate the control with a DataWindow object
InfoMaker users specify the data for the control when they
create a new form. -
If the form style you are building uses two DataWindow controls,
place another DataWindow control in the window and name it to conform
with the valid combinations.For the list of valid combinations, see Naming the DataWindow controls in a
form style. -
Save the window and specify a comment for it.
For instructions, see Identifying the window as the
basis of a style.
