8. Aligning the controls (buttons):

Regarding the resizing of the browser a question occurs concerning the position of the controls: what happens to the location of a control (i.e. a button) when the size of the browser is changed? Find out the answer by adjusting the controls' Alignment' property.
 

  • First select the back button of our example.
  • While resizing, the button should align to the topleft corner of our browser. So please check Top and Left under Alignment in the properties dialog.
  • Repeat this with the cancel button and the forward button

 

 

  • The exit button needs to be aligned topright, so check Right and Top Alignment.

 

 

  • Bottom, Right for the resize button

 

 

  • Unlike the buttons, the Edit control, which serves as an addressbar in our example, should keep its offset to the left as well as its offset to the right when the browser's width is changed.

    So we choose Top, Left and Right Alignment.

 

 



 
 
  • The Label control needs the same handling, except for not aligning to the top but to the bottom:

    Check Left, Right and Bottom Alignment.
