SurfBoard: Example #2

The example above shows too many changes to list. Essentially, we've used the layout parameters to move the components around, changed the ShowItems parameter to '3', and changed a number of fonts and colors. By removing the 3DBorder, the applet can now slot into a page and look more like a form than an applet.

We've also used the InitialSelect parameter to preselect the second entry in the List so that its description is shown as soon as the applet starts.

Just for good measure, the applet below juggles the component positions, colors and fonts slightly and places them inside a 3DBorder.

In both examples, Testmode is set to 'yes': move your pointer around the applet (and into the Preview area) to see how Testmode helps you position and size things.
