ScreenMan Form Editor

Editing Page Properties

REF: For information on how to move from page to page when editing a form, see the "Going to Another Page" section.

To edit the properties of the current page, press <PF4>P from the Form Editor's Main Screen. The form for editing page properties looks like this:

If you want the page to be a "popup" page (window):

1. At the "IS THIS A POP UP PAGE?" prompt, enter YES.
   
   
2. Enter a value for "LOWER RIGHT COORDINATE".

NOTE: VA FileMan 22.2 supports screens longer than 24 lines.

Editing "Popup" Page Coordinates

As described in the "Editing Page Properties" section above, you can press <PF4>P to invoke a ScreenMan form to edit the properties of the current page. You can also change the coordinate of a "popup" page directly from the Form Editor's Main Screen, by selecting and dragging the border of the "popup" page.

The following is an example of the Main Screen of the Form Editor where the current page is a "popup" page.

To move the entire "popup" page around on the Main Screen, do the following:

1. Position the cursor anywhere on the top boundary of the "popup" page.
   
   
2. Press Spacebar or Enter to select it.
   
   
3. Use the navigational keys described in the "Moving Screen Elements" section to drag the entire "popup" page to a new location.
   
   
4. Press Spacebar or Enter again to lock the page in its new position.

To resize the "popup" page (i.e., to change the lower right coordinate of the page), do the following:

1. Position the cursor over the lower right corner of the page boundary.
   
   
2. Press Spacebar or Enter to select it.
   
   
3. Use the navigational keys to move the corner to a new location.
   
   
4. Press Spacebar or Enter again when the page is the correct size.
