Identifying the window as the basis of a style

In order for InfoMaker to recognize that a window in a library serves as the basis for a form style, you must specify a comment for the window that starts with the text Style:

Style: text that describes the style

The text that follows Style: is the text that displays below the icon for the form style in the New Form dialog box in InfoMaker.

For example, if you save a w_pbstyle_freeform window with the comment Style: Maintain corporate data in a style library, InfoMaker users see this when they create a new form:

The sample shows the new form dialog box. In the Form Style section displayed in the bottom half of the dialog box, an icon appears at far right, and beneath it is the text maintain corporate data.

You can specify the comment either when first saving the window or in the Library painter.
