New Form Command

Use the New Form command from the File menu to create a new form. The New Form dialog is then displayed, to enable you to define your new form. (For details, see "Adding a New Form", earlier in this chapter.)

Use a form to create an interface for your JADE applications. A form is a window on which you paint controls for the running of your application. Controls are objects such as text boxes, list boxes, buttons, check boxes, and so on. You also use a form to define a print layout.

The first form that you create for an application becomes the default start-up form when you run your application. During development, you can nominate another form as the start-up form by using the Change command from the Application Browser. You can also change the startup form in your code, by setting the Application class startupForm property.
