Opening an object for editing

When you work on a form in the form editor, the editor and the associated views might look like the following figure.

The Palette on the right side of the form editor controls the editor cursor for selecting and creating fields. The Select and Marquee options on the Palette enable you to select one or more fields at a time. If you use the Select option, press the CTRL key to select subsequent fields. If you use the Marquee option, press and hold the left mouse button as you drag across multiple fields to select them.
