The Form Menu contains commands that affect the appearance of the current form. The commands on the menu are:
Displays, in a dialog, a list of components and adds the selected one to the current form.
Add Menu Bar --
This command is on the menu when the selected form does not have a menu bar.
This command adds the default menu bar to the form and displays the Menu Editor dialog. If you cancel the Menu Editor, the menu bar is not installed on the form.
If the form already has a menu bar, this command will not appear on the Form menu. Instead, the command Edit Menu Bar appears. See also the Remove Menu Bar menu command.
This item is only present when the current form has a menu bar. If the current form does not have a menu bar, the Add Menu Bar command will be on the Form menu instead. This command displays the Menu Editor dialog for the menu bar on the form.
See also the Remove Menu Bar command.
Removes the menu bar from the current form, if there is one. See also the Add Menu Bar command and the Edit Menu Bar command.
Display a dialog allowing you to specify the tab order of controls on the current form. When the form is run, pressing tab will move focus among controls. The order in which focus moves among controls can be set by this dialog.
(Note that keyboard shortcuts can be used to jump to a control with a
keypress. The keyboard shortcut is defined by placing a tilde (~)
before the keyboard shortcut letter. The keyboard shortcut is then
Alt-[the letter]. The static-text
control cannot have focus so if its value has a tilde before a letter,
that provides a keyboard shortcut to the next control in the tab
order. See the discussion Using a static text as a keyboard shortcut
to jump to a control in the static-text entry.)
Arrange the selected components so they are equally spaced.
Show alignment cues for aligned controls.
