View source for Form System

The '''Form System''' provides a properties sheet style user interfaces through the use of ''forms'' populated with [[Command System|commands]].  These forms are stored in [[Config Files|config files]], and can be edited through the [[Form Editor]].

== Displaying Forms ==
Forms are displayed in [[Form View]] viewports.  These viewports exist in layouts, and are common in ''modo''.

Forms can also be used to create [[Forms: Context Menus|context menus]], including the main menu bar.  These can then be mapped to key combos or mouse/modifier combos through the [[Input Editor]].

== Editing Forms ==
Forms can be edited in two ways:
* Through the [[Form Editor]], a tree-based interface for defining and grouping forms and their associated commands.
* Through hand-editing of [[config files]], for more advanced users.

== Developer-Centric Features ==
* [[Form Categories and Groups]] provide a straight-forward mechanism to add a form to the beginning or end of another form without modifying the parent, and a way to organize forms within the Form Editor.
* [[Form Developer Commands]] to simply exporting specific forms into your own config files and to aid in [[Message Tables|message table]] generation.
