Guide Section: GUI of EASAPs | EASAP Tree: USER INTERFACE Branch

A FORM defines a popup window that appears following an OPEN FORM ACTION.

After selecting,

• USER INTERFACE→USER INTERFACE STYLE LIST→Add FORM LIST→Add FORM

Add Child GUI objects such as CHOICE LIST, REALBOX, LOGICBOX, etc….(see Objects→FORM)

FORM shares most of its Child GUI objects with TABBED PANE. Unlike a TABBED PANE, a FORM is by default hidden; it must be opened using an EVENT; and can be closed or hidden again by a user.

Form
Optional Parameters:
Title:	Text displayed on title bar of form window (DORs allowed)
Delimiter:	Default→'%'. Set alternate delimiter to enclose DOR references in Title:
Size:	Set desired size of the FORM window in pixels: width, height (eg. '640,480' )

An example FORM for entering a value is shown below.

Note: If a POLL interval is triggered while a FORM is open, the FORM will get closed automatically so they should not be present together on the same TABBED PANE
