Add Lines or Boxes to a Form

CSPro also allows the user to draw boxes, as a means to both help visually organize your data and make the layout of your form look more professional. For example, if you wish to place fertility data on one portion of your form and then indicate to the viewer that these data are related, you could draw a box around the related items.
When you select multiple items with the mouse, you'll notice during the selection process a box that drags with you to show what you're including. To draw a box on a form, it seemed logical to have that same mechanism at work, so we've introduced the Select Items/Boxes button. Click on boxes button to toggle between the two states. When you first click on this button it will appear depressed, and a floating toolbar will appear with the following buttons:
ClickTo
boxes select items buttonToggle states between selecting items and drawing boxes without having to close down the toolbar.
boxes etched border buttonDraw a box with an etched edge.
boxes raised border buttonDraw a box with a raised edge.
boxes thin border buttonDraw a box with a thin edge.
boxes thick border buttonDraw a box with a thick edge.
When you have finished drawing boxes and no longer need the Box-Draw toolbar, close it down by either toggling the boxes button button, or close the Box-Draw toolbar.
