Form Property Page

The Form property page specifies the dimensions, color, and title of the data entry form for the open document. This property page is displayed when you select Form in the navigation pane of the Form Properties dialog.

The following options are available.

Properties

Full Screen: Specifies that the form is displayed by using the entire monitor screen.
Hide Frame: Specifies that the data entry form frame, including the title bar, is not visible. Available when Full Screen is selected.
Specify Title: Specifies that you can enter a custom title that will appear on the title bar of the data entry form. Not available when Hide Frame is selected.
Width: Specifies the horizontal dimension of the data entry form.
Height: Specifies the vertical dimension of the data entry form. The maximum dimensions of the data entry form are determined by the screen resolution of your monitor.
Background Color: Specifies the background color or fill of the data entry form. For more information, refer to Changing the Form's Background.
Reading Order: Specifies the reading order for the data entry form. Any controls whose reading order is set to Auto will inherit the form's reading order. Reading order can be set at the control level, which is separate from the reading order of the form. Review the property pages for a specific control to determine where reading order can be set.
Position: Specifies the position of the data entry form on the monitor screen when it appears at print time. When Full Screen is selected, the position affects where the controls are located within the data entry form.
Remember Position: Specifies that when a user prints the document, the data entry form appears on the monitor screen in the same location to which the same user previously moved it. To use this feature, the document must be saved in BarTender version 11.0 or a later version.
Include Standard Buttons: Specifies that the default Print, Cancel, and Help buttons are added to the form.

To make the Help button appear, you must provide help text and click to select the Display Help Text when user presses Help button or F1 option on the Selected Control Property Page.

Reset button: Specifies that a Reset button is added to the form. At print time, when this button is clicked, all the controls are reset to their initial values.
Clear button: Specifies that a Clear button is added to the form. At print time, when this button is clicked, all the controls are cleared to empty.

The Reset and Clear buttons do not affect the Record Picker, Dropdown Record Picker, or Image Capture controls.
