              project, is related to Database access as well. It contains most of the code
              necessary to build up a form layer (means the components for logical forms,
              control models, and controls). This project is self-contained, means it is only

              form layer into the applications can be found in the SVX module, project
              graphics. Here, the directories svx/source/form and svx/source/fmcomp belong to
              Database Access.<br/>
              <br/>
              Additionally, basics for the form layer (more precise, basics for integrating
              UNO controls into applications drawing layer) can be found in
              svx/source/svdraw.<br/>
