 The function !SetupInputFormToUseFontSet is called. !SetupInputFormToUseFontSet is a helper function defined in apphelpers.cpp. This gives the form a pointer to the fonts that were initialized previously. The function also sets the starting positions of the rectInpBtn rectangle that is used to define where to show the prompts and input fields. The following parameter is a value that is a percentage of the display area to set the width of the input fields. 
 
+Another input form style is useful when !EnableFullScreenMode is used and the form has mostly selection items and numeric inputs.

+        rectInpBtn.AdvanceX(INPUT_BUTTON_X_MARGIN);
+        FORM_ADD_INPUT2(ScaleInfo, Threshold2,  rectInpBtn, CFormRect::zero, "Off Threshold:", 6, 0, 80000, NULL, &lowThreshold_, FORM_FLOAT, NULL, NULL);

+        rectInpBtn += buttonAdvanceY;
+        rectInpBtn.SetLeftAndWidthBasedOnDspArea(formScaleInfo.GetDspArea(), 0.03, 0.32);
+
+        FORM_ADD_INPUT2(ScaleInfo, ShowTrfLght, rectInpBtn, CFormRect::zero, "Show Traffic Light Graphic:", 4, 0, SCALEINFO_FLAG_BIT_SHOW_TRAFFIC_LIGHT, NULL, &flags_, FORM_UINT32_YESNO, NULL, NULL);
+        rectInpBtn.AdvanceX(INPUT_BUTTON_X_MARGIN);

+        AddFormCancelOkButtons(formScaleInfo, btnCancel, btnOk);
+
+        formScaleInfo.SetUserData(scaleNum_);
+
+        FORM_SHOW(ScaleInfo);
+        n = FORM_RUN(ScaleInfo);
+        FORM_HIDE(ScaleInfo);

+In the above example the input items instead of prompt on the left and input to the right the inputs appear as buttons. The "On Threshold" and "Off Threshold" items will pressed will show the numeric input keypad directly below the selected button.
