Resizing Forms with a designer option

[Paul Squires]

Hi Gary,

You should be seeing a new property in the Property List called "Locked". If you are not seeing that property then you must not have the latest 3.05 preview. Also, in that download you need to ensure that you copy in all of the new *.ctl files for the custom controls. Those new files ensure that the "Locked" property is present for custom controls. When you set "Locked" to True then the grippers around the control turn Red.

Ok....it is there  I had snooped around under the FORMAT menu and all I was seen was lock controls. So if the controls are locked with the FORMAT option, the property setting has no effect. That works!

Not sure how hard it would  be to add, but having a lock/unlock option on the right click menu would be handy. If you are tweaking or moving controls around on the form with the mouse, it is handy to right click and lock without having to go over to the property box. Either way is not a real big deal.... I guess I have just got used to the right click option in another designer

Thanks,
Gary
