    Manual Switchboard Form

    Two questions:

    How do I manually add pages to a switchboard form? I created a blank form and have to add two pages to it.



    How can I add color to certain portions of the form? For example I tried making a rectangle and then filling it with color, but I can't get my image and label to show over it. Is there a way to do that? Also I wanted to add a background section for the control buttons.

    Thanx Paradox(>")>

    What do you mean by 'pages'?

    I have discovered that the last control created will display on top of other controls. Only way I know to dictate this ordering. So I delete/paste (Ctlx/CtlV) a control when I need to make an adjustment.

    Don't think you can modify buttons for any other formatting other than what is offered in property settings. Unless you want to create your own button classes or import some from a third party developer.

    I ended up making new blank forms and linking the buttons to those forms instead of making new pages. It was easier that way.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
