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.

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, use this procedure:

With the form open and in the designer (Web Designer in the web client, Design Mode in the Windows client), select the component you want to lock.
On the Component properties 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.
