Naming the DataWindow controls in a form style

Each form style you define contains one or more central DataWindow controls that are based on DataWindow controls in one of the built-in InfoMaker form styles.

The best way to understand the behavior of these DataWindow controls is to build forms in InfoMaker using each of the built-in styles. Then, when you want to build a form style, choose the DataWindow controls from the built-in style that matches the type of presentation you want in your form style.

For example, to create a basic freeform data entry form, base it on dw_freeform, the DataWindow control found in w_pbstyle_freeform.

When building your form style, you must assign one of the following names to the central DataWindow controls:

• dw_freeform

• dw_grid

• dw_master_12many

• dw_detail_12many

• dw_master_many21

• dw_detail_many21
