                           -=*>   FORM Object  <*=-

   The functionality of the object that allows insertion, modification,
   consultation or searching of data is driven by the principal file
   and from related files.

   Each Form object can be associated to a menu. In fact the background
   of the whole generated application, is related to the main menu
   and is nothing else other then a Form object that in dBsee is called
   as the startup object.

   The Form object has, has the following attributes, the name of the
   generated program source, the name of the main file on which it must
   perform, the  description that is used for the heading of the object
   and the name of the template(s) that is used for generation.

   To realize it, the Form Object contains the data of the control.  To
   control an graph element used for the display of the data or to define
   the format and the dynamic behavior for the user interface. The control
   that is available in dBsee are   Say+ Get, Single Get, Expressions,
   Variables, Box, Pushbutton, Font, Icon, List Boxes, Radio Buttons,
   Check Boxes, Combination Boxes, Spin Button. The use of these controls
   to design a object Form is explained in the DESIGN chapter.

   Through the characteristics of the Form Object it is possible to plan
   different relative options to the graphic display of the object (for
   instance the type of menu color that is displayed, a title, the phase
   of the startup control infestation, etc.). The environment is activated
   from the button, <Characteristics>  present in the picture of the
   definition of the object or in design phase of the object through the
   keys <Ctrl-Enter> (when the cursor is positioned on the control).
