CreateNewForm Method (FormSetFile)



Accusoft.FormDirectorSdk Namespace > FormSetFile Class : CreateNewForm Method
Creates a new form definition file and returns a new Form object for that file.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Function CreateNewForm() As FormDefinition
'Usage
 
Dim instance As FormSetFile
Dim value As FormDefinition
 
value = instance.CreateNewForm()
public override FormDefinition CreateNewForm()
public:
FormDefinition^ CreateNewForm(); override 

Return Value

A new FormDefinition object. The Filename property of the object will contain the name of the unique form definition file.
Remarks

This method creates a uniquely-named form definition file and returns a FormDefinition object which represents that file. Because this is a virtual function, defined by the FormSet class, the form is returned as a FormDefinition object. In reality, the object is a FormDefinitionFile object, which is derived from FormDefinition.

The name of the form definition file will begin with the value of the NewFormFilenamePrefix property, followed by a unique number, followed by the value of the NewFormFilenameSuffix. The descriptions of those properties contain additional details.

Note that it is not necessary to call this method to create a new FormDefinitionFile object. It is also possible and acceptable to directly create a FormDefinitionFile object and set the Filename property to any value you want. However, using this method is easier and is more flexible if you choose to derive your own classes from FormSet and FormDefinition in the future.
