Control Toolbox Overview

  • Article

The Control Toolbox identifies the controls you can add to a Frame or page of a form.

You can customize the Control Toolbox in many ways including the following:

  • Add pages to the Control Toolbox.

  • Move controls from one page in the Control Toolbox to another.

  • Rename Control Toolbox pages.

  • Add other controls, including ActiveX controls, to the Control Toolbox.

  • Copy modified controls from the form to the Control Toolbox.

    For example, OK and Cancel buttons are special types of CommandButtons . If you copy OK and Cancel templates to the Control Toolbox, you can quickly add them to other forms.
