Using the Mouse for Form Editing
Both the left and right mouse buttons allow the admin to perform various actions on a form in the Forms Designer.
Left Mouse Click
As noted previously, the main use of the left mouse click is to click,
hold, and drag controls onto the form. However, that same method can also be
used to manually resize a control as well as select a group of controls.
Right Mouse Click
The right mouse click allows the admin to perform several different actions on controls that are currently selected:
- Cut, Copy, Paste – Used to remove, move, or duplicate the selected controls.
- Bring and Send – The forms are layered, allowing the admin to overlap controls as desired. These options make it possible to move a control if it is behind or in front of one or more other controls.
- Align – Used to align all of the selected controls in a certain way.
- Distribute – Used to distribute the selected controls evenly so that the space between each control is equal.
- Delete, Deselect, Select – Used to delete the currently selected controls, deselect all controls, or select all controls.
- Undo, Redo – Used to undo a change that was just made to the form or redo a change that was just undone.
