Figure 200: Selecting a field of a control

• Moving a group of controls is almost as easy as moving one of

them.

1) Click the field of the top left control to be moved, to select it.

2) Move the cursor to just above and to the left of the selected

control.

3) Drag the cursor to the bottom right of the group of controls

and release the mouse button.

As you drag the cursor, a dashed box appears showing what is

contained in your selection. Make sure it is big enough to

include the entire length of all the controls.

When you release the mouse button, a border with its green

handles appears around the controls you selected (Figure 201).

Figure 201: Selecting multiple controls

Move the cursor over one of the fields. It changes to a drag

icon. Drag the group of controls to where you want them.

Tip

When either changing size or moving a control, two properties of

the Form Design toolbar should be selected: Snap to Grid, and

Guides when Moving. Your controls will line up better, and an

outline of what you are moving moves as the cursor moves.

You should also have both rulers active (View > Ruler).

Step 1: Change the Date field.

1) Control+click the Date field to select it.

2) Move the cursor over the middle green handle on the right side. It

should change to a double-headed arrow.

3) Hold the left mouse button down as you drag the cursor to the

right until the length is 6 cm. The vertical dashed line is lined up

with the 6. Release the mouse button.

4) Click the Control icon in the Form Controls toolbar (Figure 202).

The Properties: Date Field window opens. Each line contains a

property of the field.
