Forms

(forms)

Overview

The Forms object serves as a scripting entry point to access all forms within a solution at runtime. It enables developers to retrieve form names, manipulate loaded forms, and interact with specific form instances. Accessible via forms.<formName>, it simplifies navigation and operations on forms while supporting code completion.

Key Features

The Forms object provides access to all form names in the current solution, allowing iteration or direct access to forms using their names. Developers can determine the number of forms loaded into memory or interact with a form instance to manage its elements, controller, and variables. It is particularly helpful for dynamic form manipulation and integration with scripting workflows in Servoy applications.
