<tmdoc-title|Forms>
As explained in ``<hlink|Dialogs and composite
widgets|scheme-gui-dialogs.en.tm>'' the available widgets can be used to
compose dialog windows which perform one simple task. But sometimes one
needs to read complex input from the user and forms provide one mechanism
to do this. They allow you to define multiple named fields of several
types, whose values are stored in a hash table. The contents of this hash
can be retrieved when the user clicks a button using the functions
<scm|form-fields> and <scm|form-values>.
In the following example you can see that the syntax is pretty much the
same as for regular widgets, but you must prefix the keywords with
<scm|form-> :

<\folded-io|Scheme] >
(tm-widget (form3 cmd)
\ \ (resize "500px" "500px"
\ \ \ \ (padded
\ \ \ \ \ \ (form "Test"
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (aligned
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item (text "Input:")
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (form-input "fieldname1" "string" '("one")
"1w"))
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item === ===)
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item (text "Enum:")
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (form-enum "fieldname2" '("one" "two" "three")
"two" "1w"))
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item === ===)
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item (text "Choice:")
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (form-choice "fieldname3" '("one" "two"
"three") "one"))
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item === ===)
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (item (text "Choices:")
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (form-choices "fieldname4"\
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ '("one" "two"
"three")\
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ '("one" "two"))))
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (bottom-buttons
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ("Cancel" (cmd "cancel")) \<gtr\>\<gtr\>
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ("Ok"
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (display* (form-fields) " -\<gtr\> "
(form-values) "\\n")
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (cmd "ok")))))))

A complete list of the widgets you can embed in a form is in the table
<scm|gui-make-table> inside <hlink|menu-define.scm|$TEXMACS_PATH/progs/kernel/gui/menu-define.scm>.
