If you do not see it, you can activate it from the View > Toolbars menu. The drawing tools are found on the Drawing toolbar, part of which is shown below.Īs described in Introducing Draw, the Drawing toolbar is normally located at the bottom of the window. This is common notation in vector drawing software. The following chapters describe how to work with and edit such objects.Īll shapes, whether they are lines, rectangles, or more complicated shapes, are called objects.
This chapter shows how to draw simple 2D objects. You can create 2D and 3D objects in Draw. 6.2 Using text elements in Draw objects.3.7 Drawing elliptical and circular arcs.
3.6 Adding ellipse and arc tools to the Drawing toolbar. 3.5 Drawing ellipses (ovals) and circles. The subform's BID is represented by a list box in the grid which is filled by some string coming from ListB and its ID as bound column. The mapping table is the content of the subform connected through the common AID so the subform's grid shows all records with the AID of the main form's selected ID. You always have to replace some other control with a list box which is why I prefer not using any of these "helpers". It is rather irritating and misleading that none of the wizards is able to create list boxes for the foreign keys. Let the wizard finish its work and replace the foreign key(s) with a list box. Toolbar "Form Design", button #6, drag field names onto the grid's column header, replace the foreign key(s) with a list box. For a many-to-many relation you want a list box to get the effect of list boxes in a grid of multiple records.Īlternative methods to add form controls: Right-click the column header and add the form controls you need. It bundles other form controls in columns showing one instance of each form control in each row.
The table control (grid) is not a form control in its own right. You can drag it to the right place if it was created for the wrong form. Use the form navigator (toolbar "Form Design, button #5) to check if the grid belongs to the right subform. Toolbar "Form Controls">button "More Controls">toolbar "More Controls">button "Table Control" (silly, isn't it?)ĭraw the rectangle, cancel the wizard if a wizard pops up.
