12.1.2.1.1. Controls

In the Controls tab of the toolbox, users are provided access to a variety of controls that can be used for designing a form.

To add controls to the design environment, take the following steps:

1. From the toolbox, select a control and drag it towards a viable drop location in the design environment.
   

*As users drag an object towards the design environment, the viable drop locations will be indicated by the Add Row to Page fields.

2. Drop the control onto the viable area.
   

*Make sure the Add Row to Page field is highlighted in yellow before dropping the object. Otherwise, the placement operation will not succeed.

3. In this manner, users can design the functionality of the form, adding as many controls as needed.
   

*When adding an object to an existing column in the design environment, the viable drop locations will be highlighted in yellow. When adding an object in between existing controls, the viable drop locations will be indicated by the Insert Here fields.

Once a control has been added to the design environment, users can perform the following actions:

1. Duplicate or Remove Control
