I don't recall seeing
anything on this, so I must be doing something wrong.
I have a number of forms
where this has been an issue. I place dbedits on the form for fields in
the table. Next to each dbedit is a a static text label that names the
field, to show the user what data is to be entered in the
field.
I've been experiencing the
labels "sliding" under the dbedit fields. Everything looks fine when I
save the form. When I open it again, either in design mode or in run
mode, the labels have partially slid under the dbedit fields so that the end of
the label is not visible.
The DBedit fields never
seem to move, nor do labels within containers (such as an enhanced group
box).
So, most recently I tried
using the Anchor and Lock features for these labels. Each of them had a
default of top and left anchors without my doing anything, so I anchored them on
all four corners. Then I locked the objects.
When I next opened the
form, (All of these fields are on an enhanced tab page) virtually all of the
labels had DISAPPEARED altogether.
I moved the DBEdit fields
around, to see if the labels had slid under them, but I can't find them on the
form. However, if I use Layouts>Objects List>Standard Controls, all
of the labels are listed, and I can click on them and bring up the property
box.
I need to a)find the
labels. and b) keep them stationary so they don't migrate when the form is being
used.
Any help would be
appreciated, this is driving me crazy.
