Components feature a shortcut menu, the primary means of formatting and editing. All menus are identical with the exception of component-specific Custom Settings commands:
Command | Submenu | Description |
---|---|---|
Bring to Front | Brings the selected object to the top and front when objects are layered. | |
Send to Back | Sends the selected object to the bottom and back when objects are layered. | |
Edit | ||
Cut | Removes the selected object to the clipboard. | |
Copy | Saves the selected object to the clipboard. | |
Paste | Pastes content from the clipboard into the selected object. | |
Delete | Deletes the selected component. | |
Opaque | Makes the selected object opaque when selected, or transparent when deselected. | |
Border | ||
Etched | Sets object borders to an etched style. | |
Line | Sets object borders to a solid line. | |
Lowered Bevel | Sets object borders to a lowered bevel style. | |
Raised Bevel | Sets object borders to a raised bevel style. | |
None | Removes object borders. | |
Set Border Color | Sets line border color. | |
Set Border Size | Sets the (interior) component line border width in pixels. Zero (0) means no border. | |
Anchor | ||
Top | Affixes objects to the top edge of the panel. | |
Bottom | Affixes objects to the bottom edge of the panel. | |
Left | Affixes objects to the left edge of the panel. | |
Right | Affixes objects to the right edge of the panel. | |
Slack | Sizes the component to fill unused space. | |
None | Positions the component, using the underlying pixel grid. | |
Align | ||
Top Edges | Aligns the top edge of all selected components. Moves all selected components vertically to the current position of the top edge of the top object. | |
Vertical Centers | Aligns the center point of all selected components. Center in this case is the vertical center (left and right edges of components). Moves all selected components vertically to a median determined using the top edge of the top component and the bottom edge of the bottom component. | |
Bottom Edges | Aligns the bottom edges of all selected components. Moves all selected components vertically to the current position of the bottom edge of the bottom object. | |
Left Edges | Aligns the left edge of all selected components. Moves selected components horizontally to the current position of the left edge of the left object. | |
Horizontal Centers | Aligns the center point of all selected components. Center in this case is the horizontal center (top and bottom edges of components). Moves all selected components horizontally to a median determined using the left edge of the left component and the right edge of the right component. | |
Right Edges | Aligns the right edge of all selected components. Moves all selected components horizontally to the current position of the right edge of the right object. | |
Distribute | ||
Top Edges | Evenly spaces the top edge of three or more components vertically. | |
Vertical Centers | Evenly spaces the center point of three or more components. Center in this case is the vertical center (left and right edges of components). Moves all selected components vertically to a median determined using the top edge of the top component and the bottom edge of the bottom component. | |
Bottom Edges | Evenly spaces the bottom edge of three or more components vertically. | |
Left Edges | Evenly spaces the left edge of three or more components horizontally. | |
Horizontal Centers | Evenly spaces the center point of three or more components. Center in this case is the horizontal center (top and bottom edges of components). Moves all selected components horizontally to a median determined using the left edge of the left component and the right edge of the right component. | |
Right Edges | Evenly spaces the right edge of three or more components horizontally. | |
Custom Settings | Displays additional component-specific commands. Options are described in component profiles. | |
Font Properties | Displays the Font Properties dialog box to format caption fonts. | |
Properties | Displays the component-specific property dialog box, or a series of dialog boxes. |
