Using the Form window to create a control mapping

To create a control mapping definition from the Form window:

  1. Open the Form window containing the control you want to map and expand the tree so that the control is visible.
  2. Right-click the control, and select Add Data Mapping from the right-click menu.

    The Create New Data Mapping dialog box appears.

  3. Expand the tree so that the column in which you want to create the control mapping definition is visible.
  4. Select the column.

    The Add Control button becomes available.

  5. Click Add Control.

    The InForm Architect application generates a definition for the control path.

  6. Edit the control mapping properties in the Properties window. For more information, see Control path mapping properties.

You can also quickly generate a definition by dragging the control from the Form window onto the Data Mappings window.

Note: The InForm Architect application only allows you to drag and drop controls for which you can legitimately create mappings. You cannot drag and drop a simple control or a group control.

To drag a control from the Form window to the Data Mappings window:

  1. Open the Form window containing the control you want to map and expand the tree so that the control is visible.
  2. Open the Data Mappings window and expand the definition so that the table in which you want to create the column definition is visible.
  3. Drag the control from the Form window and drop it onto the table in the Data Mappings window.
