The Form Menu contains commands that affect the appearance of the current form. The commands on the menu are:
You can also display the palette by clicking in the background area of a form window, unless the show-widget-palette-when-click-form option has been turned off.
If the widget palette overlaps the selected form window when the palette is displayed, it will automatically be shifted off of the form window so that it doesn't get buried by the form.
This command adds the default menu bar to the form and displays the Menu Editor dialog. If you cancel the Menu Editor, the menu bar is not installed on the form.
If the form already has a menu bar, this command will not appear on the Form menu. Instead, the command Edit Menu Bar appears. See also the Remove Menu Bar menu command.
See also the Remove Menu Bar command.
(Note that keyboard shortcuts can be used to jump to a control with a
keypress. The keyboard shortcut is defined by placing a tilde (~)
before the keyboard shortcut letter. The keyboard shortcut is then
Alt-[the letter]. The static-text
control cannot have focus so if its value has a tilde before a letter,
that provides a keyboard shortcut to the next control in the tab
order. See the discussion Using a static text as a keyboard shortcut
to jump to a control in the static-text
entry.)
