There are several ways in which you can add graphical objects to a form in the Painter tab.
Drag an object from the Toolbox onto a form.
Change the Direction property of an attribute in the Class View.
Copy an existing object on a form and paste it as an additional object on the same form, or on a different form.
Drag an attribute from the Class View window on to a form to create an object on the form.
Note: A quick way to add a label to a form is to position the cursor on the form where you want the label to be positioned, and start typing. A label object is automatically added to the form and your text is placed in the label as you type.
Each object that you add to a form possesses certain properties. The properties that are available vary depending on the type of object. You can modify the properties of the object to suit the requirements of your form. You might also change the type of some Graphical Objects. For instance, after you have added a Text Field to a form or GridPanel, you might decide that it would be more useable as a Text Area.
Note: The properties of form objects are transient until a form is saved. It is only after a form is saved that a form and its contents are committed to the project database.
