Abstract Form

Overview

When creating a form, one must always select a layout type. An Abstract (No UI) layout can be used to create a base form, from which other forms can inherit. The benefit of having a base form be Abstract, is to allow child forms to implement any UI, while still inheriting the properties and event bindings, as well as logic from the Abstract parent.

Quick Start

When creating a form, select the form type option Abstract (No UI) in the New Form Wizard. Then you may set form properties and event handlers, as well as implement logic to be inherited as you please.

For more information on creating an Abstract Base Form see the guide on Form Inheritance.
