Controls properties are modified through the Control Properties dialog. You can open the Control Properties dialog for a control by right clicking the desired control in the Control List and selecting Control Properties . You can also open the properties dialog for a selected control by double-clicking the entry or by pressing "ENTER".
The properties available will vary depending on the type of Control that is being edited. To preview the effect of changes made in the Control Properties dialog, press the Apply button.
There are several ways to position a control within a window. The simplest method is to select the control, then drag the control using your mouse while holding down the "SHIFT" key. For fine-tuning control position, you can move a selected control using the arrow keys while holding down "SHIFT".
Additionally, the position for a control can be set from the Control Properties dialog, or by the Adjust Position or Reset Position options in the popup menu.
The order that controls appear in the Control List is the same order in which they are drawn. Since controls may overlap, it is important that you order controls in the list such that items that you wish to appear on top are placed towards the end of the Control List.
You can change the position of a control in the Control List simply by dragging the control up and down the Control List. Or, you may move a control up and down the list using the Draw Order submenu that appears in the popup menu when you right-click a control.
To copy a control, right-click the desired control and select Copy from the popup menu. Likewise, you may cut a control using the Cut action. Once a control has been cut or copied, it may be pasted as many times as you wish. To paste a control, right-click the window in which you wish the control to appear and select the Paste option.
To move multiple controls at once, select all the control you wish to move in the Control List. To select multiple entries, hold down shift while selecting. Once you have made your selection, right-click one of the selected controls and select Adjust Position.
To add a new control, first select the window you wish the control to be added to using the Window List or by selecting the desired window in the Preview Area. After selecting the desired window, press the Add button that appears at the top of the Controls List.
Pressing the Add button launches the Add Control dialog. Select the type of control you wish to add and press OK.
You can remove a control simply by selecting it and pressing the Delete button that appear at the top of the Controls List. Alternatively, you can right-click the desired control and select Delete Control or simply press the "DEL" key. Once a control has been removed, it cannot be restored.
