To create a form in the EGL Text Form editor, follow
these steps:
- Open a form group in the Text Form editor.
- On
the Palette view, click either Text Form or Print
Form.
- On the form group in the editor, click
and drag a rectangle that indicates
the size and shape of the form. The Create Form Part window opens.
- In the Create Form Part Window, type a name for the form in the Enter
part name field. This name will be the name of the form
part in
the EGL source code.
- Click OK.
- Click
the form and edit its properties in the Properties view.
- Add
fields to the form as appropriate. SeeCreating a constant field and Creating a variable field.
You can
also create forms based on the templates in the Palette view. These
templates create forms with predefined appearances and fields. See Creating a form from a template.
