Datasheet

Figure 1-34: The Data menu holds commands that deal with datasets.
❑ Make Same Size — This submenu contains commands that change the size of the controls you
have selected. It contains the commands Width, Height, Both, and Size to Grid. The Size to Grid
command adjusts the selected controls’ widths so that they are a multiple of the alignment grid
size. The other commands give the selected controls the same width, height, or both.
❑ Horizontal Spacing — This submenu contains commands that change the spacing between
the controls you have selected. It contains the commands Make Equal, Increase, Decrease, and
Remove. For example, if you have selected three controls, the Make Equal command makes
the spacing between the first two the same as the spacing between the second two. This can
be handy for making columns that line up nicely.
❑ Vertical Spacing — This submenu contains the same commands as the Horizontal Spacing sub-
menu except it adjusts the controls’ vertical spacing rather than their horizontal spacing.
❑ Center in Form — This submenu contains commands that center the selected controls on the
form. It contains the commands Horizontally and Vertically. Note that the selected controls are
centered as a group; they are not centered individually on top of each other.
❑ Order — This submenu contains the commands Bring to Front and Send to Back, which move
the selected controls to the top or bottom of the stacking order.
