To resize a control within a form layout view, you typically select the control and then adjust its size by dragging its edges or corners. However, when dealing with a layout control, specific steps might be needed:
-
Select the Control: Click on the control you want to resize within the form layout view. A visual indicator, such as a highlighted border, usually appears, signifying that the control is selected.
-
Hold the CTRL Key: Press and hold the
CTRLkey on your keyboard. This key often modifies the behavior of resizing within layout views, allowing adjustments to the entire layout structure in some applications. -
Drag the Layout (Using the Layout Selector): Locate the layout selector, usually positioned at the upper-left corner of the layout. Click and drag this selector while still holding down the
CTRLkey. This action allows you to resize the layout grid, affecting the size of the controls within it. The exact visual cue and behavior will depend on the specific form design environment you're using (e.g., Visual Studio, Qt Designer, etc.).
In summary, select the control, press and hold CTRL, and then drag the layout using the layout selector to resize the control within the layout structure.
