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.
