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.
