Changing the Arrangement of Forms 839
- Point to the right border of the CustomerID label, and when the pointer changes
to a two-headed horizontal arrow, drag to the left until CustomerID just fits in
its box. - In the Property Sheet, adjust the Width property to 0.8", and press Enter.
Tip It is often easier to adjust the size of controls visually and then fine-tune them in
the Property Sheet than it is to guess what property settings might work.- Select the CustomerID text box (not its label), and change its Width property
to 1.5".
Tip Throughout this book, we refer to measurements in inches. If your computer is set
to display measurements in centimeters, substitute the equivalent metric measurement.
As long as you are entering the default units, you don’t have to specify the unit type.
The width of all the text box controls is adjusted, not just that of the CustomerID
text box.
In a Stacked layout, all the controls in each column are the same width.Notice that the controls are different heights. We’ll fix that next.
