Layout settings
From the menu select to display the dialog.
Layout Grid Settings allows you to change the size of the grid by pixels and you also have the option of disabling Show Grid and Snap to Grid.
Layout Style for Multiple Data Item Additions provides you with three ways to align your controls on the layout grid. The default layout style is for both labels and controls to be left aligned, i.e. the second option.
By default, when data items are dragged onto the form the labels are vertically centered against the corresponding data item control. Uncheck the Center Labels Vertically Against Controls check box, if you want the labels to be top aligned against controls.
