Users can enter information into a form by typing into text boxes, selecting items from a list, selecting check box options and performing other actions. The objects with which users interact are called "controls".

Some controls, such as buttons, allow you to execute an event that performs an action. For example, clicking a button at the bottom of a form can save the input information to a database.

In some controls (on all forms), the input element's name is not populated and using methods that rely on the underlying DOM may cause issues. In such cases, you must use Ext APIs, such as Ext.getCmp() to access the controls. For example:

var myCheckBox = Ext.getCmp('checkbox1'); "

TotalAgility form controls belong to the following categories:

• Basic controls

• Advanced controls

Each form control has the following features:

• Basic properties, such as name, width, margin, and state. Configure the basic properties in the Properties panel.

  Note If a form variable has the same name as a form control, the control name takes precedence.

• Extended properties, such as security tokens, job case IDs, and refresh intervals. To configure extended properties, on the Properties bar, click Settings .
