Guidelines for Arranging Controls in Grid Layout

The Format Toolbar includes several tools that help you arrange controls that Siebel Tools displays in the Applet Layout Editor. If you arrange controls in grid layout, then use the following guidelines:

• To determine the action a tool performs, scroll over the tool and view the small pop-up label that Siebel Tools displays.
• A tool in the Format Toolbar is only active if the action that the tool performs in the Applet Layout Editor is actionable. For example, the Align Lefts tool is only active if you choose more than one control.
• To resize or position a control, always use the Applet Layout Editor. Do not modify the property of a control in the Controls list.
• You can use the arrow keys to move a control or controls to the position.
