The Mode button, listed first in this table, is documented under "Adding Controls to Your Form", earlier in this chapter. For details about all controls listed in this table, see the appropriate control class in Chapter 2 of the JADE Encyclopaedia of Classes.

As each schema in your database can contain different controls, the form that currently has focus determines the control palette that is displayed in the JADE Painter.

If you have a form for three different schemas currently open in the Painter, the Control palette may be displayed differently when each form has focus.
