Form templates in the EGL form editor

The EGL form editor uses templates to create commonly used types of forms and fields. These templates are listed in the Templates drawer of the Palette view.

The form editor can create forms from templates. These forms have pre-made borders, sections, and fields. To create a form from a template, see Creating a popup form or Creating a popup menu.

The form editor can create a group of fields using an EGL record as a template. To create fields representing data from an EGL record, see Displaying a record in a form.
