Display options for the EGL form editor

The EGL form editor has display options that allow you to control how form groups appear in the editor at design time. These options do not change the appearance of the form group at run time. From left to right at the top of the editor, these are the buttons that control the display options:
Toggle Gridlines
This option displays a grid over the form group to help in sizing and arranging forms. To change the color of the grid, see Setting preferences for the EGL form editor.
Toggle Sample Values
This option inserts sample values into variable fields, which would otherwise be invisible.
Toggle Black and White Mode
This option switches the editor's background from black to white.
Zoom Level
Sets the magnification level of the editor.

There are other buttons at the top of the editor that control the size of the form group and the editor's filters. See Editing form groups with the EGL form editor or Form filters in the EGL form editor.
