Overview
Canvas Sections allow highly customized layouts with a wide range of advanced containers and controls.
Drag and drop table columns to create controls that are automatically data-bound.
Adding a Canvas Section
To add a Canvas Section to a Page, select Canvas from the Sections menu in the Form Tools.
Drag on the blue handle at the bottom of the section to resize it.
To make your Canvas Section fill the whole Page, set the Page Stretch last section attribute to true.
Drag and Drop Columns
Add automatically data-bound controls to your Canvas Section using drag and drop.
If the App Inspector is open, select the Pages Files Tab.
Make sure the Tables tab is selected.
Click on its name to select a table from the Table Names panel.
Then just drag a column from the Column Names tab and drop it where you want it to be positioned in the Canvas Section.
The Pages Files Tab stays selected as you drag and drop the columns and fine-tune the position of the controls.
To edit the control's attributes, select the Attributes Tab in the App Inspector (if the App Inspector is closed, double-click on the control's caption to open the Attributes dialog).
