You can create a bound field or subform in one of the following
ways:
-
Creating new form objects from the Data View palette
-
You can drag a node or a node and its descendants from the
Data View palette onto the page and automatically create a bound
field or multiple fields or subforms. The form field or subform,
and its descendants, are bound to the data source. In addition,
form field properties are automatically set according to the properties
of the data binding. For example, the form object’s type, name,
and caption all reflect those of the binding object.
-
Associating a node from the Data View palette with
an existing form field
-
You can drag a node from the Data View palette onto an existing
field on the page and bind the two. You also have the option of
updating the form field’s properties to match those of the binding
object. The properties that can be updated depend on the combination
of form object type and binding type. For information about the
properties that can be updated, see
Binding Properties dialog box
.
-
Specifying the binding node using the Binding tab in
the Object palette
-
Select an object on the page and then select the node to
which you want to bind the object in the Binding tab of the Object
palette. The form field’s properties can be updated in the same
way as if you dragged a node from the Data View palette onto an
existing form field. For information about the properties that can
be updated, see
Binding Properties dialog box
.
-
Letting Designer auto-generate bound fields into a
subform
-
You can generate new bound fields in a subform from the Data
View palette.
