To add a form to a standard project:

This procedure describes how to add your own form to a standard project.

 

 

■ Work procedure

 

1.Add a form

 

Forms can be added by right-clicking on the target folder in the workspace at the top left of the Panel Editor screen. The standard framework provides a folder called "User". This folder can be used freely as a place to store forms added by the user. Forms can be added freely to any folder, and other folders can also be created. As an example, we will add a form to the User folder.

 

Right-click on the "User" folder in the workspace at the top left of the Panel Editor screen and select "Add Form" from the menu that appears.

 

 
Then, a new form "Form01" was added.

 

 

The name Form01 above is the default form name automatically assigned by Panel Editor. You can change this name as you like.

 

2.Change form settings (Form)
 

Once you have added a form, change the form properties as desired. To edit the properties, with Form01 selected, double-click anywhere on the form in the main area to display the properties dialog. Here, change the form's "stretch" (Stretch property) and "off-screen color" (ViewFillColor property), which are general settings when displaying a graphic screen in the standard framework.

 

 

•Change the stretch to "STRETCH_KEEPRATE".

•Change the off-screen color to "@FormColor".

 

To set the above colors, select the "Theme" tab from the color selection dialog and choose "@FormColor" from the list (or you can enter "@FormColor" directly into the edit box).
