Commands Details
The details for each command available on this item via right-click context menu
Open in Form Editor

Open Form Hierarchy
Opens the Form Hierarchy. There you see the hierarchy tree (according to parent-child relation).
Create new sub form component
Opens the New Form Wizard to create child form (new form whose parent is the selected form).
Transform to regular form
Transform this form component to a regular form. Note that a regular form cannot be transformed to a form component, so this change is irreversible. A form component only has a subset of features of the regular form (as it has only a very specific purpose).
