About The Designer

The Toolkit Designer allows you to create a data input form for your custom tables. Using the Toolkit Designer you can create feature-rich custom data entry forms in a short amount of time. The design surface provides a set of basic functions and components and has been designed to be usable for a variety of custom applications. The basic list of features includes:

  • Support multiple graphical elements such as text, pictures, drop-downs and shapes.
  • Allow movement and alignment of those elements.
  • Allow finished compositions to be saved to disk and loaded back into the design surface.
  • Visually represent the data entry form on the screen to make it easier to position elements.
