Deprecated: this only applied to the winforms client
** this allows us to only define the default menu items once, in PetraForm.yaml, and they will be included in all derived forms
* '''FormType''':  
** ''abstract'': if this is just used as a base form for other real forms
** ''navigation'': the main window, the module windows
** ''edit'': edit screens
** ''crud'': CRUD screens (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
** ''find'', ''browse'': find screens
* '''MasterTable''': if this is set, you will need to write less DataField attributes for the controls. The name of the controls will be matched to a field in the given table; if such a table field exists, it will be linked to the control.
* '''DetailTable''': similar to MasterTable, but this is for the detail table; controls must have the word ''Detail'' after the prefix, eg. txtDetailAmount
* '''Events''': here you can link form events to methods in your code
** eg. <code>Activated: {class=System.EventHandler,method=FTheObject.TFrmPetra_Activated}</code>
* '''Actions''': actions can be used by menuitems, toolbarbuttons, and other controls; this is useful to be able to enable/disable an action on the whole screen, and to only define a certain action once, and refer to it from all controls that trigger the same action
** eg. <code>actClose: {Label=&Close, ActionId=eClose, Tooltip=Closes this window, Image=Close.ico}</code>
** eg. <code>actMainMenu: {Label=Petra &Main Menu, ActionClick=FTheObject.OpenMainScreen}</code>
** '''Enabled''': Actions can depend on other actions or conditions; they will be disabled if the condition is false; eg <code>Enabled: cndSelectedSupplier</code>; this can be set in a grid, with '''SelectedRowActivates'''; eg <code>grdSupplierResult: {Dock=Fill, ActionDoubleClick=actSupplierTransactions, SelectedRowActivates=cndSelectedSupplier}</code>
* '''Controls''': see [[Screen scaffolding: controls]]
* '''Menu''': TODO
* '''Toolbar''': TODO
* '''Layout''': TODO
