XForms Toolbox

This topic describes the XForms Toolbox tab.

The XForms Toolbox tab contains a set of commonly used controls that you can use to create the user interface for a web application. To add a control to an XForm, you can drag it to the required position using the mouse. The Designer Area displays placeholders that help in placing controls. Alternately, you can double-click a control to add it to the XForm, and then adjust its position as required.
The controls available in the Toolbox tab are listed in the following table.
