You can add a widget to a screen by using the Extensibility Workbench or the Designer
Workbench.
Procedure
- Make sure the Palette tab is showing on the Extensibility
Workbench or the Designer Workbench, and not the Data or Files tab.
- Click on a widget.
- (Required only if a preset is required) Click the check
box for the preset.
- (Required only if a preset is required) Make any changes
to the default properties of the widget by creating a preset property.
- Move your cursor to the screen and right-click or left-click
to add the widget to the screen. A tooltip will help confirm when
you can add the widget.
In the Designer Workbench, the
widget appears in two places:
- On the canvas, in the most upper left hand location.
For example,
if you add a button to a blank canvas, it appears in the upper left
hand corner of the canvas. If you add a second button, it appears
directly beneath the first button.
- In the Tree View, in a hierarchical pattern under the screen object.
In the Extensibility Workbench, the widget appears in
two places:
- On the screen, in the location where you clicked.
- In the Outline view, in a hierarchical pattern under the screen
object.
