Using multi-page forms (overview)

Topic group Related topics

If your form needs to contain many fields or controls, you’ll want to use a Notebook component or a multi-page form. Using either one, you can divide controls into related groups, with each group presented on a separate page.

It is easy to create forms with several pages and navigation buttons.

When you create a new form, the Form designer opens it on the first page. To create a multi-page form, choose the Next Form Page button on the toolbar. The Form designer appends a page each time you click the button.

To navigate between pages in the Form designer, use any of these techniques:

Use the Next Form Page and Previous Form Page toolbar buttons.

Choose View|Previous Form Page or View|Next Form Page.

Use the PgUp and PgDn keys.

In the Inspector, select the form object in the top selection box, and on the Properties page, change the numeric value of the pageNo property. Notice that as you change this value, the pages of the form change on the design surface.
