Layout Frame Menu Options
The operations that you can use on the Form Layout frame are as follows:
Create
Displays a new menu that enables you to create new components on a form.
Delete
Deletes the component where the cursor is positioned.
Edit
Displays another menu that enables you to edit the trim or field component where the cursor is positioned.
Move
Moves a component or changes the margin. This operation displays a new menu. For more information on changing the overall margins of a form, see Form Size and Position.
Undo
Reverses the results of the last operation you performed. Undo does not reverse the FormAttr operation on the Form Layout frame or the EditAttr operation on the Edit submenu.
Order
Changes the order in which the form's fields are accessed when an end user presses the Tab key. This operation displays a new menu for ordering fields.
Save
Displays a new menu that allows you to save your new or updated form in the database. The Save operation is independent of exiting. You can save one form and begin work on another without leaving VIFRED. For more information, see Save a Form.
FormAttr
Changes the default attributes of the form as a whole, such as fullscreen or pop-up display style. For more information, see Form Attributes.
Location
Displays a message giving the current row and column position of the cursor, relative to your window boundaries, and marks the cursor location with a plus sign (+). For details, see Location Operation.
Groupmove
Moves an entire group of components on a form at once.
Rulers
Turns rulers (see page 11) and straight edges (see page 11) on or off.
