Form Designer

The Form Designer presents the design-time view of your form. By default, the Form Designer appears in the bottom left pane of the Form Editor window.

The center of the Form Designer pane displays the form's main visual hierarchy. This is composed of the components under the Top Form Component node in the Component Inspector. You can also view and design visual components from the Other Components category by double-clicking on them in the Component Inspector.

The white area around the form represents the components under the Other Components node in the Component Inspector. You can add components to the Other Components node by clicking in the white region. When you right-click in this area, the contextual menu applies to the components under the Other Components node.

You can use the light purple borders of the form to stretch the form down or to the right. Making the form larger in this manner is useful when you want to make components on the form more visible or accessible, or if you want to design a large form.
