Chapter 6
Designing a Form
This chapter discusses how to design new forms and edit existing ones
in OmniForm. OmniForm contains numerous tools in design view that
let you create fields and objects, define calculations, and decide how
your form will look.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• The Design Process
• The Design View Toolbars
• Creating Objects
• Defining Objects
• Changing Object Appearance
• Redesigning Your Form
• Using the Scrapbook
• Inserting OLE Objects in a Form
In Windows 95 and NT, the OmniForm\Sample Forms folder contains
many sample forms that you can use or redesign for your needs. In
Windows 3.1, the path is omniform\samples.
Most screenshots in this chapter were taken in Windows 95. Your dialog
boxes and windows may look slightly different if you are using
Windows NT or 3.1.
