Form
The Control
The root (top-level) container of every control in Openous. It is the first element created by default when you select to customize a SharePoint form for a list or document library. The Form Control exposes all necessary methods for programmatically applying your rules and business logic to your Openous implementation.
Actions
When the Form Control is selected in the Central pane, the Actions section on the ribbon is updated to display the following items:
Move Up This action is applicable to controls that are immediate children of Container Controls. When pressed, it moves the selected control above its current position (shifting the above control below it).
Move Down This action is applicable to controls that are immediate children of Container Controls. When pressed, it moves the selected control below its current position (shifting the below control above it).
