Often you want to align several controls or make them all the same size. You can use the grid to align the controls or you can have PowerBuilder align them for you.
To align controls in a DataWindow object:
Select the control whose position you want to use to align the others.
PowerBuilder displays handles around the selected control.
Extend the selection by pressing and holding the Ctrl key and clicking the controls you want to align with the first one.
All the controls have handles on them.
Select Format>Align from the menu bar.
From the cascading menu, select the dimension along which you want to align the controls.
For example, to align the controls along the left side, select the first choice on the cascading menu. You can also use the Layout drop-down toolbar on PainterBar2.
PowerBuilder moves all the selected controls to align with the first one.
