Objects, Toolbox and Snippets
Objects are defined for output on the large FormTrap Project:name-of-form (form) screen. Where more than one (form) screen is shown, the screen shown in bold is the target.
Objects are created by dragging and dropping snippets from the Toolbox.
Open Toolbox from the Toolbar menu.
Toolbox and Snippets
This is the Toolbox, showing standard snippets which cannot be deleted. You may add user snippets to the "show your own snippets" selection. User snippets are recommended for design of a consistent set of forms with very similar appearance and content. Items in the user snippet set should include Report Header and Trailer, Detail line and anything else repeatedly used.
Snippets are controlled by these icons:
Add 
Delete 
and
Edit 
user snippets,
with Edit allowing just snippet name to be changed.
The next two icons enable viewing of Standard 
and User snippets 
.
With both enabled (bold) both sets of snippets are shown. Text snippets are organized alphabetically, and are followed by basic graphcs, then some of the less-used types.
Large 
or
Small 
representation of
snippets completes the snippet set.
These are the standard snippets:

Short Text for text, not word-wrapped (normally data and constants)
