Ease of use and navigation in the Layout tab

The Layout tab provides several visual cues to help you navigate and modify a layout.

• A toolbar contains many of the most commonly performed actions, including managing controls. Also available from the right-click menu, the actions include the following:
  • Caption alignment.
  • Control orientation.
  • Control type.
• The Layout tab provides visual cues that indicate the caption or control that you are pointing to or have selected. For example, a selectable area becomes highlighted when you point to it. Additionally, when you point to a control, a tooltip appears, identifying the item that is associated with the control. The tooltip includes relevant information for the control, such as RefName, Display Override settings, and control styles. A dotted line around a control indicates that it is hidden.
• You can navigate through the Layout tab using the arrows on the keyboard, and you can perform all actions using the keyboard.
• The Layout tab displays either the titles or RefNames of study objects, depending on your Display Names Using selection in the Project Explorer.
