Formulars

Formulars (or Forms in short) manage controls for display in windows and window snippets that are displayed with some controls (subform, splitter, tab pages, and so on).

The arrangement of the controls and their alignment to the edges of the form is specified in the form editor.

Forms have a property set. Each property has an initial value that is set at the design time and, if necessary, can be manipulated through an expression which changes the value of the property at run time.

In addition, a form provides a list of events to handle interactions, mainly if a form is used as a stand-alone window.

Other functions of forms include providing a help entry and, if necessary, submitting server-side files to the client.

Responsive settings (automated window contents position and size adjustments depending on window resizing) manage if a stand-alone window provides multiple responsive containers.

Because forms appear on the client side, changes made to the properties must be transferred to the client. Therefore, it is not always possible to ensure that the server-side representation matches the client-side display.
