Creating Objects
14 Designing a Form

Creating a Comb Object
Use a comb field to separate information into separate groups of
elements while maintaining the field as a whole. For example, United
States forms typically require that you enter zip code numbers in five or
nine separate boxes.
1 Click the Comb tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Either click anywhere on the form to create a four-element
comb field, or move the cursor to anyplace on the form and
hold down the mouse button as you slowly drag the cursor.
The number of elements in the comb field increases as you drag
the mouse. Let go of the mouse button when the comb field
contains the number of elements that you want.
Many sample forms included with your OmniForm package, such as the
Objects form, contain comb objects that you can copy and paste into
your own form.
