About the PainterBars
The Form painter PainterBars have buttons for operations such as Save, Close,
and Run. They also have five drop-down toolbars, which have a small black
triangle on the right side of the button:
• Controls – shows the controls you can add to a form. For example, to place
a computed field in the form, click the Compute button on the Controls
drop-down toolbar, then click the location in the form where you want the
computed field to appear.
• Layout – has alignment, sizing, and spacing options you can choose for
selected controls.
• Foreground Color – has foreground colors that you can choose for one or
more selected controls. In a text control, the foreground color specifies the
color of the text.
• Background Color – has background colors that you can choose for one or
more selected controls.
• Borders – has borders you can choose for one or more selected controls.
When you click the triangle, the drop-down toolbar displays and you can click
a button in the toolbar. The following illustration shows the Background Color
drop-down toolbar:
