Using form objects is very much like using control elements in dialog boxes. For instance, checkboxes can by checked or unchecked with a mouse click. A listbox entry can be selected by clicking on it, etc.

Evaluation of form objects

Form objects are evaluated through the result cell of the object. This is the cell, which holds the value that the form object returns.

The location of the result cell can be determined individually for each form object: To do this, select the form object, right-click with the mouse to open the context menu and select Form object: Properties. In the dialog box, switch to the Form object tab and enter the desired cell address in the Result cell field.

For example: You have given a list the result cell D4. If you click the first entry in the list, 1 will be displayed in D4. If you click the fifth entry, 5 will be displayed, etc.

The relationship between a form object and its result cell is also two-way: If you enter 3 into the result cell, the third entry in the list is selected.
