Working with Forms

  • Cikk

When you have created a form, you can manipulate it in various ways. You can run or hide it using the interface or programmatically. You can alter your form through its objects, by passing parameters, or setting the design area and templates. Local and remote data can be incorporated into your form, and you can manage multiple instances of your form.
