Note
Once a form is generated, the objects in it aren't logically associated in any
way except that they collectively make a complete working form. Although it's possible
to alter or delete individual elements, doing so may cause the form to not work properly
if an error is introduced; thus doing so isn't recommended.
The APEX form wizards listed in
Figure 6-1
are the fastest, most effective, and
most accurate way to create APEX forms. The wizards guide you through a series of
steps, collect the information required for the form type, and then generate all the re-
quired items, processes, and buttons. Using the wizards frees you from the tedious and
error-prone task of individually creating each component. After a wizard creates a
form, you can, and likely will, make modifications and enhancements to the resulting
components to tailor the form to your specific requirements.
