Changing the size of forms

You can change the size of a form to optimize the space available for the form controls. Changing the proportions of the form also changes the size and position of the tabs and the default buttons on the form.

Procedure

To change the size of a form:
  1. Start the Designer.
  2. In the Schema Repository Explorer view, expand Record Types or the Record Types - Stateless folder until you see the form to resize.
  3. Double-click the form.
    • To resize the form manually, click a corner of the form window and drag it to the desired shape and size.
    • To resize the form to exact dimensions:
      1. Right-click any where on the form outside of a tab and then click Show Properties View.
      2. In the properties page for the form, enter the Height and Width values.

Results

If a form requires more controls than can fit on the main tab, you can add tabs to the form. See Working with tabs on forms.
