-In the above example notice after FORM_INIT the function !SetupInputFormToUseFontSet is called. This gives the form a pointer to the fonts that were initialized previously. The function also sets the starting positions of the rect, and rectInp rectangles that are used to define where to show the prompts and input fields. The final parameter is a string used to determine the width of the prompts. This should be the longest prompt text in the form. The !AdvanceInputRects function call is used between FORM_ADD_INPUT2 calls to move the rect and rectInp down an appropriate amount for the next input.

 Notice between FORM_ADD_BUTTON2 lines the rect is advanced by **rect += btnAdvanceY;**  The CFormRect class contains multiple values. The += operator is overloaded to allow the advance as shown. The !AdvanceInputRects function from the previous example is actually doing the same thing, but for input forms to advance both the prompt and the input rectangles.
