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