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.
