Form Designer
Use this dialog box to specify preferences for the PHP Form Designer. Some options set in this dialog also apply to the HTML designer.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Display grid | Displays dots on the form to make the grid visible. |
| Use designer guidelines | When checked, enables designer guidelines in the visual designer. Designer guidelines appear when moving elements in the designer, making it easier to align them. |
| Snap to grid | Automatically aligns components on the form with the nearest grid line. You cannot place a component in between grid lines. |
| Grid size/Snap tolerance X | Sets the grid spacing in pixels along the X axis. Specify a higher number increase grid spacing. |
| Grid size/Snap tolerance Y | Sets the grid spacing in pixels along the Y axis. Specify a higher number increase grid spacing. |
| Show component captions | When selected, captions will show below the icon representations of non-visual components. For example, if you drop an ImageList onto a form, the caption "ImageList1" will show below the icon. If you deselect this option, the caption will not appear. |
| Show designer hints | Displays a class name in a Help tooltip for a nonvisual component you drop on form or data module. Note that this option only affects tooltips that appear when you pause the mouse over a component. Help tooltips are always enabled in the "Tool Palette". |
| Show Tag Editor | Displays a tag editor pane under the form in the "Designer". This pane is a text editor in which you can view the current component generated source. |
