static void createForm(Args _args)
{
Args args;
Form form;
FormRun formRun;
FormBuildDesign formBuildDesign;
FormBuildDataSource formBuildDataSource;
FormBuildStringControl formBuildStringControl;
FormBuildGroupControl formBuildGroupControl;
FormGroupControl formGroupControl;
int idx;
DictTable dictTable;
CustTable custTable;
// Create the form header.
form = new Form();
// Add data sources to the form.
dictTable = new DictTable(tableNum(custTable));
formBuildDataSource = form.addDataSource(dictTable.name());
formBuildDataSource.table(dictTable.id());
// Create the form design.
formBuildDesign = form.addDesign("Design");
formBuildDesign.caption("myForm");
// Add controls.
formBuildGroupControl =
formBuildDesign.addControl(FormControlType::Group,"Group");
idx = formBuildGroupControl.id();
formBuildStringControl =
formBuildGroupControl.addControl(FormControlType::String,"String");
// Add data fields to the controls.
formBuildGroupControl.dataSource(formBuildDataSource.id());
formBuildStringControl.dataSource(formBuildDataSource.id());
formBuildStringControl.dataField(2);
args = new Args();
args.object(form);
// Create the run-time form.
formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(args);
formRun.run();
formRun.detach();
formGroupControl = formRun.control(idx);
formGroupControl.leftMode(-1);
formGroupControl.leftValue(50);
