Add a Control to the Design Space

Placing controls on a workspace or script is similar to adding fields. Like fields, controls occupy cells on the underlying table for the design space.

After you add a control, you can reposition it to display anywhere on the design space. Controls can be added to tables, panels, and tab set controls, and you can place them above, below, or next to fields and other controls.

Note: When you add a control to a table that already contain fields or other items, the size of the table rows and columns is adjusted to accommodate the new object.

1. From an open workspace or script, click the Insert Control tab on the designer ribbon.
2. Click the control you want to add.
3. Drag the control to the design space and hover over the location where you want to place the control.
   A vertical or horizontal line indicates where the control will be placed on the design space.
4. Release the mouse button.
5. To edit the properties of the added control, see Edit a Field or Control.
