Drawing Complex Controls

Complex controls enable you to easily incorporate entire sections of the user interface into your form. Complex controls are meant to be the only control on a tab. If you add one or more simple controls to a tab that contains a complex control, the simple controls will be placed on a separate tab at runtime.

You can create the following complex property controls from the Tools Palette:

• Custom Property List Control
• Attachments Control
• Item History Control
• Item Labels Control
• Item Links Control
• Item References Control
• User List Control

To create complex property controls (general), do the following:

1. Click the desired complex property button on the Tools Palette. The mouse pointer changes to a cross-hair.
2. Click and drag to draw the control on the form in the Form Layout Area. The Create New Control dialog box opens.
3. Type a unique property name for the control, and click OK.
