| GUI Form Example Descriptions | |
| ================================================================================ | |
| This project contains three visual forms that were designed with the IDE's | |
| GUI Builder. You can open these forms in the IDE, and you can view accompanying | |
| demos that show you how those forms can be created in the IDE. | |
| To open an example form in the GUI Builder: | |
| 1) In the IDE's Projects window, navigate to the examples package node within the | |
| Source Packages directory. | |
| 2) Double-click the node of the sample form you want to view. | |
| The IDE launches the GUI Builder and displays the chosen form. | |

| -------------- | |
| This complex form is similar to Windows dialogs typically used to display and | |
| edit database information. The example illustrates the full range of GUI Builder | |
| features, including alignment, anchoring, sizing, indentation, and runtime | |
| auto-resizing behavior. To view a detailed tutorial including flash | |
| demonstrations showing how to build this form, copy and paste the following link | |

| ------------------- | |
| This example illustrates a type of table-based form commonly used to display | |
| related information in visually coherent groups. The GUI Builder's advanced | |
| alignment features enable you to group and size non-adjacent components (such as | |
| labels, text fields, and buttons) consistently without the need to merge cells | |
| manually. | |
| Find | |
| ---- | |
| This simple form illustrates a straight-forward layout often used in various | |
| applications requiring basic search functionality. The GUI Builder's alignment | |
| and sizing features enable you to quickly construct such forms while ensuring | |
| that they localize predictably. | |
