Using Form Widgets

Form widgets are small applications that provide a unique function when placed on custom forms. For example, the Embedded Report widget adds a report to a form so users can view and interact with data from other items as they work with the form.

In the form editor, the palette contains widget types. Drag widgets onto the form, then use the tabs in the Property Editor to view and modify the various aspects of the selected widget.

Use the controls on the Design tab of the Ribbon to set the alignment and size of the selected widget. The Alignment options (left, right, top, bottom, center, fill) determine which handles are available for "stretching" the selected widget to the desired size. The Size options provide precise control.
