Building and using a form style – PB Docs 2021

To build and use a form style:

1. Do one of the following:

   • Copy the window and menu from an existing form style to act
     as your starting point

   • Begin from scratch by creating a new window and placing in
     it one or two DataWindow controls that have the supported
     names

2. Save the window with a special comment that indicates that the
   window serves as the basis for a form style.

3. Enhance the form style by adding controls to the window,
   modifying the menu, defining window functions to serve as actions, and
   so on.

4. Copy all objects used in the form style (such as windows, user
   objects, and menus) to a library that will be defined as a style
   library for InfoMaker users.

5. Add the style library to the search path for InfoMaker
   users.

   When InfoMaker users create a new form, the form style you
   defined displays in the New Form dialog box. Users can select the
   style to build a form based on the style you built.
