FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not support the insertion of form objects. This means that you cannot create new forms with it, but you can still use existing forms.
You can insert form objects into your tables and, in this way, create forms.
The following types of form objects are available:
▪Checkboxes for checking
▪Radio buttons for selection among multiple alternatives
▪Dropdowns for selection from an expanding list
▪Listboxes for selection from a list
▪Pushbuttons for clicking
▪Spinners for increasing/decreasing values by mouse click
▪Scrollbars for increasing/decreasing values by 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. Each form object can be assigned to a different result cell.
If, for instance, you insert a listbox with several entries in it, 1 is displayed in the result cell when the first entry is clicked, 2 when the second entry is clicked, etc.
In this chapter, you will find detailed information on working with forms. It consists of the following sections:
| The first section covers general information on working with form objects. You will learn how to insert, edit, operate and evaluate form objects. |
| The second section contains detailed information on each individual type of form object. |
▪Options of the contextual ribbon tab "Object"
| The last section explains the commands of the contextual ribbon tab Objects. This always appears automatically when you select a form object. |
