I saw this video, but I couldn't find the attachment even though I did it as mentioned.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @s5B 

Attachment control does not exist on the controls list. So we need to hack the system to get control.

• Insert New screen
• Insert "Edit Form" control
• Set Datasource (Any Sharepoint list)
• Select the form
• Go to "Edit Fields" on the right-side properties
• Fields pop-up will display
• Click "Add field" and Select "Attachments"
• The form should display attachment control
• Copy the attachment control and place it in the desired place (New screen)
• Remove/Update few properties
  • Bordercolor to Balck
  • Remove Items
  • Update Tooltip to ""
  • Update DisplayMode to DisplayMode.Edit
  • Write your desired code on "OnAddFile"

Now you can control to add file(s).
