About Prompts

A prompt is the text label that appears with and relates to an item. Each interface control can have a prompt associated with it. For example, a check box contains a text label, or prompt, next to it.

Prompts differ from graphic text (such as text box items) in that prompts are directly linked to an item. For example, when you move an item in the Layout Editor, Form Builder relocates the item and its prompt together to the new location.

Form Builder provides several properties that allow you to arrange and manage prompts and to specify a prompt's visual appearance.
