To Edit Group Properties

Group properties, including horizontal or vertical alignment and spacing between objects, are set in the Group Property Editor.

1. Double-click the group in the interface or in the Module Browser.

   The group will be selected in the Revolving Property Editor. In the interface you will have to click in the space between group members to select the group.

   Alternatively, you can display the Group Property Editor by choosing Groups from the Editors menu of the primary window. Choosing Groups from the Editors menu is the same as clicking Tear-off in the Revolving Property Editor with Group chosen as Object Type.

2. Select the group to be edited from the Group Objects list, if necessary.

3. Type a new name for the group, if necessary.

4. Choose a border frame style if you want the group to have a border in the completed interface (no border is the default).

   Border frame style choices are shadow out, shadow in, etched out, etched in, and none.

5. Select a Layout Type.

   Choices are as-is, vertical, horizontal, and row-column.

   Depending on what you select, either the Vert Alignment or Horiz Alignment option menu, or both, will be active. If you select rows-columns, the Rows and Columns radio buttons will be active, also.

6. Designate the number of Rows or Columns (if row-column layout was selected).

   The number of columns will be determined automatically if you designate the number of rows, and the number of rows will be determined automatically if you designate the number of columns.

7. Choose a vertical alignment (if either vertical alignment or row-column layout type was chosen).

   The choices are align on left edge of objects (the default), align on colons/labels, align on middle of objects, or align on right edge of objects.

8. Designate vertical spacing (if either vertical alignment or row-column layout type was chosen).

   The absolute values are in pixels; 10 is the default.

9. Choose a horizontal alignment (if either horizontal alignment or row-column layout type was chosen).

   The choices are align on top edge of objects (the default), align on middle of objects, or align on bottom edge of objects.

10. Designate horizontal spacing (if either horizontal alignment or row-column layout type was chosen).

    The absolute values are in pixels; 10 is the default.

11. Deselect Visible if you do not want the objects in the group to be visible when the application is opened.

12. Deselect Active if you do not want the objects in the group to be active when the application is opened.

13. Click OK or Apply to apply the changes.

    The Revolving Property Editor or Group Property Editor will be dismissed if you click OK.
