We use the same procedure as in Getting Familiar With Overlays, but instead of stating an overlay, we enter our selector MYSELECT.

We notice that page 1, 2 and 4 uses overlay IF400DEMO (see page 32), and page 3 uses overlay MYDEMO (see page 106).

The selector can also be used in an Auto Forms Control definition. You can try the selector in the section Getting Familiar with Auto Forms Control later.
