Locking the size or position of a component

The features normally used to change the position and size of a component can be disabled by means of lock settings.

The locks are designed to facilitate development of international, multilanguage applications. Once a component, such as a static, has been sized to accommodate a translated string, you can lock the component to discourage others from imposing standard dimensions on it.

To lock the size or position of a component:

  1. With the form open and in Design Mode, select the component you want to lock.
  2. On the [Component] property sheet, set [Lock Position] or [Lock Size], or both, to [True].
注:  The lock settings should be set to [False] if the corresponding [Glue] setting is set to [True].
