To define the text formats, one can use the Smart Styles.

The from painter:

The form painter offers the following functions:

Ø Design area with ruler, cursor with help lines, and he grid and main grid.

Ø Display of the cursor position in the ruler, which can be suppressed and set.

Ø Two level grid with engage function which can be customized.

Ø When creating, changing and moving a window, the window size appears in the ruler.

Ø Detachable toolbar containing the most important functions.

Ø Autoscrolling when moving windows, placing windows in the background.

Ø Zoom factors that can be set to any value and autozooming of the design area to the window size.

Ø Sensitive context menu.

Ø Placing a scanned graphic into the background of the design area.

The PC Editor:

The pc editor offers the following functions:

Ø Enter, delete, select, cut and copy texts.

On the left of the style builder screen consists of the predetermined nodes (header data, folder for paragraph formats, folder for character formats).

On the right one can see the maintenance screen with its tab pages. At the bottom the preview of the selected font can be viewed.

Field list and Error list:

The field list displays the following data in the form a tree structure:

Ø All tables, fields and structures passed via the form interface.

Ø System fields and the fields that are defined in the global definitions.

This allows one to check whether a correct field name has been entered or not and that the form knows the field or not. To display the field list, in the form builder choose field list On/Off.

The error list contains the list of errors and warnings displayed at the bottom of the maintenance screen.

Node types:

When a form is created, the tree structure of the form painter contains two root nodes.

Hi,

if you want a box in main window, u can use borders or patterns present near that. If you want a static box then use templates. Even for templates use borders or patterns.

reward if helpful.

Hi

Sam,

In Smartform 1). you go to main window , press Out option then click preview then choose what type of box you want.

2) After that you click lines with check box(donot forget to click this check box).
