Add UI elements outside of a Form Element

If it seems you can not add the Control you desire because it does not appear in the right-click menu, then try adding a Vertical Layout first. Then you can add just about any content.

For example, if you were to have an application with just a Page, and wanted to add a Text. If you right-click the menu from Page node you will not be able to add a Text directly.


 


Step-by-step guide

To add an area in which you can add just about any content, add a Vertical Layout.

  1. Vertical Layouts can be added to almost all Nodes in the FAB Tree by using the right-click context menu of Tree in FAB. Select Add Layout then Add Vertical Layout.

  2. A Vertical Layout Control has been added
  3. Now the controls can be added without using a Form Element control
