hemenkap Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 hi, i have been using VB 6 for a while now and now i am migrating to .net for one project but while desiging form in the IDE i am having problems with fine positioning the controls . in vb 6 when you select a control ( Say Textbox) then six handles appear) indicting that the control is selected. We can press Ctrl + Arrow keys to move or Shift + Arrow key to resize finely the movement functionality is maintained but the fine size function has been discontinued in VB .net this gives lots of problems Another big problem is that when the handles appear aroud the control a very thick border line also comes around the control this was not in vb. There used to be a border but it used to be only 1 pixel thick can you suggest how to make this samller in .net Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 27, 2003 Moderators Posted January 27, 2003 You can't make the handles border smaller, if you use the Crtl-Shift to move a control it will be in smaller increments. In Options > Windows Form Designer, there is a Snap To Grid and Grid size, but they don't seem to do much. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
*Experts* Nerseus Posted January 27, 2003 *Experts* Posted January 27, 2003 Here are the shortcuts: Arrows: Moves control by grid unit Ctrl-Arrows: Moves control by 1 pixel Shift-Arrows: Resize control by grid unit Ctrl-Shift-Arrows: Resize control by grid unit Per form - actually, per control that allows nested controls such as panel - you can turn the grid on/off and change the size. You can't change the border... -nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.
