This is a bit of a design question to avoid using multiple tabs or forms to submit a single record. Is it possible to create a form that slides to the left/right with the use of navigation buttons? I imagine this would be achieved using some manipulation of the X value right? How would you layout the form itself to make this work?

I started revisiting containers today. The solution in video could work but I would need to stack controls instead of lining them up. The scroll experience would be unwieldy with the number of fields I would need to add. As an alternative I am also looking at a tabbed layout.

Yes,
Sliding form is possible.
I had created long back.

Methods of achieving this are,
1. Using the new containers and defining formulas with the form respectively to change its X value.
2. Formula based on your screen size to change X-value without using containers.
3. Use for Timer control to give a sliding animation. Where the X-value starts from A and moves to B in n seconds. (Note: won't recommend if your screen lags else its okay)
4. Use of a slider. This will move Form from A to B on your screen. (Effective if Timer is not required and animation is required).

Hope this helps.

I'm considering going the route of using tabs instead although I still think sliding forms look cooler. 😁
