The following types of form objects are available:

Checkboxes for enabling

Radio buttons for selecting from among multiple alternatives

Dropdowns for selecting from an expandable list

Listboxes for selecting from a list

Pushbuttons for clicking on

Spinners for increasing/decreasing values via a mouse click

Scrollbars for increasing/decreasing values via a mouse click

Labels for static descriptions

Groupboxes for visually grouping related items

Form objects always have a Result cell. This is the cell which holds the value that the form object returns. You can specify which cell this is for each individual form object.

If, for example, you insert a listbox with several entries in it, 1 is displayed in the result cell when you click on the first entry, 2 when you click on the second entry, etc.
