Formitem Appearance
Under Construction
Form Sections automatically handle the layout of the Fields they contain. Attributes are available at Field or Section level to configure the appearance of the Fields.
Themes and CSS Styles can also be used to specify the appearance of the UI.
By default, the Caption size and Data size are Small and the Caption position is Beside, so the Caption is displayed to the left of the Data.
Field Attributes
Field attributes apply to that Field only.
The Caption position can be Above.
The Caption position can be RightToLeft, in which case the Caption is displayed beside the Data, but to its right.
The Caption position can be None, in which case no Caption is displayed.
With the Caption position set to None, you can no longer double-click the Caption to access the Field's attributes. Open the App Inspector using its button in the Headerbar and double-click on the Field's name to open the Field Attributes dialog.
The Caption size can be set to Small, Medium, Large or Largest.
The Data size can be set to Small, Medium, Large or Largest.
Form Section Attributes
Form Sections have attributes that affect all the Fields in the Section. These will be applied to existing Fields and Fields subsequently added to the Section.
As in the Field Attributes, the Caption position can be set to None, Above, Beside or RightToLeft.
As in the Field Attributes, the Caption size can be set to Small, Medium, Large or Largest.
As in the Field Attributes, the Data size can be set to Small, Medium, Large or Largest.
The Spacing attribute controls the distance between the Fields.
The default Caption width is 160.
