Arranging form panels
After you create and configure a form, you can use the below procedure to arrange the form panels. These settings are saved and serve as default for the client.
Note: This is only used for the initial generation of the form. The size of the panels is not taken from the preview mode. You can adjust the width in the pane of the work area for forms, and the user can rearrange the panels as needed in Verification.
Tip: You can also add conditions that affect the appearance of forms at runtime.
Note: This procedure does not apply to web forms.
XBOUND has an open interface that allows you to alter XBOUND behavior or to develop your own components for the XBOUND platform.
This interface allows you to adjust forms dynamically in Verification, using your own custom actions or other business rules. For example, you could change labels or adjust the content of combo boxes.Instructions can be found in Programming XBOUND, a separate help file (file name xboundSDK.chm) that is available in the xbound\Docs\English folder of your XBOUND installation. The help topic is called "How to: Change form controls using business rule or custom action."
