Title: Designing large forms
Post by: Anthony Hobbs on June 05, 2004, 09:35:06 PM

Something has just occurred to me (unless I'm missing something obvious).
I'm making a form which is large enough for it to be partially offscreen in design mode. Now I am trying to place controls near the bottom of it (the offscreen part). How can I access this area? There are no scrollbars in the main design window, so it seems that any part of the form that's not immediately visible can't be reached.
Another minor issue seems to be that for such a large form, the tabs at the bottom of the design area (view code / view form) are sometimes covered up by the form.

Right you are.

I need to account for this. A beta team member also commented on this. I will try to add scrollbars in order to allow access to oversized Forms.

I commented on this. It happens that I'm a database programmer and most of my screens have a grid and other controls. Even full screen is not enough sometimes to me :) Until now, visual designers are only useful to me when I need to make a popup dialog.
