Notes

• On the preview, you can use a button form control in these ways:
• Click the control to show the related properties.
• Double-click the control to navigate to another form, as defined for the button.
• In general, if you add a button control, it is positioned before the selected control on the form. An exception are button controls for which the Stick to footer property is set to Yes. These are always positioned at the footer of the form.
• Where the control is exactly positioned on the preview, also depends on:
