The Toolbars
I-32 Forms Design 6 has several toolbars. Most of the functions you need to create and lay out your forms can be initiated from the toolbars. Handles (vertical dotted lines) separate the individual toolbars and allow you to move them individually.
Here is an overview of each of the toolbars and what they contain.
The Command Toolbar
You activate the command by clicking on the button. The command toolbar is similar to the command toolbar in most Windows applications. Only the buttons that apply to the current display will be active. If a command is not available, its button will be grayed out.
Design Toolbars
The design toolbars contain the tools that you use to draw and lay out your form.
The Draw toolbar contains tools for creating the objects on your form. Each object has its own tool. Select a tool by clicking on its button.
The Activate toolbar contains buttons for activating and deactivating elements on your screen. Buttons are available to display or hide the form tree and property panes, toggle between the grids, and limit active objects to lines, rectangles, images, text boxes, or data fields (or any combination thereof).
The Align toolbar contains buttons for aligning objects with one another.
The Resize toolbar contains buttons for resizing objects relative to each other.
The Position toolbar contains buttons for positioning objects based on the page margins.
The Page toolbar provides navigation through the various pages of the form. The up and down arrow buttons allow you to navigate to the previous and next pages, respectively, and each one is disabled if there is no previous or next page.
The Page selection list allows you to select the page number you wish to navigate to directly. You can also enter a number into the selection list. If you enter a number greater than the number of pages available, the last page will be selected and displayed.
