Selecting the Features Displayed on Your Form

The eighth sheet of the Form Wizard dialog enables you to select the features that are to be displayed on your form. The list of displayed features that you can select includes the following.

• All properties, both public and read-only.

• Accessor methods of the target class and its superclasses. (Accessor methods are non-updating methods that return a value and take no parameters.)

The Feature List list box contains all of the properties and accessor methods that are associated with your class selection. From this list, select the features that are to be displayed on your form.

The Selected features list box contains the features that you have selected to be displayed on your form. The sequence of the features in this list box becomes the sequence in which the selected features are displayed on your form.

To select the features that are displayed on your form

• Double-click a feature in the Feature List list box.

• Select one or more of the features listed in the Feature List list box, and then click the single right-arrow (>) button.

• To select the display of all features listed in the Feature List list box, click the double right-arrow (>>) button.

The selected features are then automatically copied to the Selected features list box.

You can select a feature once only. An attempt to select a feature that is already selected has no effect.

Features are added to the Selected features list box in the order in which you select them. The exception to this is when dealing with instances in a member key dictionary, when the properties that are keys are always positioned at the top of the list in the Selected Features list box.

Your selections are not finalized until you click the Next > button. Before you click the Next > button, you can reverse any of your selections by removing them from the Selected features list box.

You can also change the sequence of features in the Selected features list box, as this represents the sequence in which they are displayed on your completed form.
