How To: Diagnose Project Issues Using The Form Designer (KB12121012) (DriveWorks Documentation)

Introduction

The behavior of the controls on the user forms can be tested during design by clicking the Test button on the command bar of the form designer.

This allows complete testing of data entry into the user form and the following behavioral properties:

Enabled
Maximum/Minimum
Tab Index
Visible
Override Rule
Items/Text/Value/Checked

Not every aspect of the user interface experience can be tested during form design. To test the following items thoroughly please see How To: Diagnose Project Issues Using Specification Test Mode

Form Navigation
Macro button
Dialog button
Item List
Child Specification list
Form Warnings

Starting a form Test

To test a form that has been designed:

From Stage2. User Interface of the DriveWorks Administrator task list, select Form Design
Select the Form to test from the Forms list above the properties area of the form design window
Click the Test button on the form design command bar.
The user form will now behave as it would during specification

Other forms can be selected without exiting Test mode by selecting the required form from the forms list.

During form test the background color of the form remains grey, only the grid disappears. This behavior is by design to indicate form design test mode has been activated.

Default values of form controls can be set during test mode. Enter or select the required default value in the control during test mode, and the value will remain (depending on other behavioral property rules) after test mode has been exited.
