Lock Position property

Use the Lock Position property to disable changes to the size and position of a component on a form.

Locking is designed to facilitate development of international, multi-language applications. Once a component, such as a Static component, has been sized and positioned to accommodate a translated string, you can lock the component to discourage others from repositioning it after applying standard dimensions on it.

Setting Description
True Disable changes to the size and position of a component.

If you use this option, all of the Glue... properties are disabled.

False Default. Enable changes to the size and position coordinates of a component.
Note: You can set the Lock Size property to prevent changes to the just the size of a component without locking its position.
