Adding labels and text fields

To add fields to a form, press the button on the 'Form Tools' toolbar that corrresponds to the field type you want to add. From left to right the choices are, Text Label, Data Field, Action Button, Radio Button, Checkbox, DropDown List, Table.

After selecting the field type, a blank field will appear in the top left corner of the form. You can drag it to the desired position, and stretch it using the mouse to the desired size.

Double clik on the field to edit it's properties.

Field ID - Name of field, (and database field it relates to if this is a 'Primary Database Form')
Field Type - Text, Date, Time, Numeric, or Calculated (registered only)
Location - Absolute or relative pixel size of the field.
Absolute/Relative - Is bottom/right pixel location absolute or relative to the top left.
Field Font - Normal, Bold, Big, or Big&Bold font.
Single Line - Limit field to 1 line input
Dynamic Resizing - Allow field to grow
Has Scrollbar - Allows scrolling around field (Palm OS2 only)
Sort Database - Use this field as the key for sorting (Registered only).
Right Justify - Right Justify Text in this field.
Read Only - This field is uneditable (must be uploaded from the PC and can't be changed).

For 'Primary Database Forms', contents of Data Fields, Checkboxes, and Radio buttons will be directly linked to fields in the database, and are used to change/display this data.

For this step in the tutorial, add a Label (with 'Field Text' = 'Address:') and a Text field (with 'Field ID' = 'Locc', and 'Field Type = 'Text').
