| 7 | + | ## Using the Anchor Editor | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | The anchor editor allows the editing of the AnchorSide, Anchors and BorderSpacing properties of the selected controls. | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | This page describes how the editor works. If you want to know how these properties themselves work, see [[Anchor Sides]]. | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | ||
| 14 | + | Hint: This window is a floating window, you can leave it open while switching between designer and anchor editor. | |
| 15 | + | ||
| 16 | + | The 'Enabled' checkboxes correspond to the Anchor properties of the control(s). The top side uses the akTop enumeration, the Left side the akLeft enumeration and so forth. | |
| 17 | + | ||
| 18 | + | The Sibling is the AnchorSide\[xxx\].Control property. You can set it to empty (nil), the parent of the control(s) or one of the siblings (controls with the same parent). | |
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + | The three speedbuttons correspond to the AnchorSides\[xxx\].Side property. | |
| 21 | + | ||
| 22 | + | The borderspacing has five properties: Around, Left, Top, Right and Bottom. The Around property is the center edit field. The Top is the top edit field and so forth. | |
