To Select a Box in the Screen Editor

To start the customization of a box, you have to select it in the Screen Editor. To do this, perform the following actions:

  1. Open the form that contains the box to be customized so that the box is displayed on the screen.
  2. On the form title bar, click Customization > Inspect Element to launch the Element Inspector.
  3. On the form, click the box to open the Element Properties Dialog Box for the box.
  4. In the dialog box, click Customize.
  5. If there is no currently selected customization project and the inspector opens the Select Customization Project Dialog Box, select an existing customization project or create a new one. (See To Select an Existing Project and To Create a New Project for details.)

If the customization project does not contain a changeset for the form, the Customization Project Editor adds to the project a Page item for the form, to keep the changeset to ASPX code of the form in the database. The container of the box is opened in the Screen Editor, and the box is selected in the Control Tree of the editor. Therefore you can start customization of the box.

When you click Save on the editor toolbar, the editor updates the Page item in the database.
