To create a form in NetOjbects, please watch this movie demo or follow the steps below:
1. In Page view, select the Form Area tool from the Standard toolbar
2. Using your mouse, drag it on the page to create a rectangle in the Layout area or MasterBorder.
3. In the Create Form box select a type of form:
(i)Create position-based form (Layout Region) creates a form in a Layout Region that you can resize and drag anywhere on the page. When you add form objects, text boxes, and other objects to the Layout Region, you can freely position and align them, just as you position objects in a Layout area. We recommend this form type.
(ii)Create text-based form (Text box) creates a form in a text box. Text you type and form objects you add appear sequentially, just as when you type. This is a good choice for forms that have a lot of text, where objects appear sequentially, or that have a simple layout, like a row of check boxes or a single column of fields. A text box form typically generates less HTML when you publish than a Layout Region form.
(iii)Create form in a Table creates a table where you can line up form objects by inserting them in table cells. Each cell acts like a text box, where you type and add objects just as you add other objects to a table. You can only have one table for the entire form.
(iv)Define Layout as a form (limits page to one form) creates a single form on the page that occupies the entire Layout area.
3. Click OK.
