Working with Form Controls

Each Form Field has two parts: Label and Control. The previous pages looked at the Label and the various Properties that can be edited to resize and position the Label.

 

The Control is where users enter and change data. The Detail Section of this Form has several Controls that we will edit and arrange.

 

1. Try it: Select the Control

Select the FirstName Control.

 

What Do You See? The FirstName Control is highlighted. There are small square handles in each corner and side that can be used to resize the Control.

 

The Label and the Control both have special handles in the upper left corner that can be used to move them independently.
