resicon.pngResBuilder: Aligning Controls (Superseded)

ResBuilder has been superseded by the FormBuilder module in the BASIS IDE for BBj. ResBuilder is no longer included in the BBj download package as of version 12.0 but can be downloaded with Visual PRO/5.

A layout grid can be displayed within a form or child window to make it easier to align controls.

To align two or more controls along the boundary of the last control selected, do the following:

  1. Press and hold down Ctrl, then click each control to be aligned.

  2. On the Align toolbar, select the desired alignment option, as follows:

    • Click LeftAlign to align the controls along the left boundary of the last selected control.

    • Click Right Align to align the controls along the right boundary of the last selected control.

    • Click Top Align to align the controls along the upper boundary of the last selected control.

    • Click Bottom Align to align the controls along the lower boundary of the last selected control.

    • Click Center Vertical to align the control centered vertically in relation to the center of the last control selected.

    • Click Center Horizontal to align the control centered horizontally in relation to the center of the last control selected.
