According to the write-up, LBW from v4.8 on has Zoom buttons. I have a registered v4.9.5, but can't find the Zoom buttons. It's probably just me having yet another blond moment, but can you tell me how to zoom in this utility? Dave.  |

Each edit window has its own buttons to control the zoom. Look on the bar at the upper right, directly under the system buttons to minimize, restore, close the window. You'll find split, - , = , + to split the editor into two panes, or zoom in/out the size of the text.

Alyce, Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I meant: the text size is fine, and I can read it perfectly well. What I need is the ability to zoom in on the GUI window that I'm constructing so that I can more easily line up textboxes, buttons, etc in the window. This is more critical as there doesn't appear to be a copy and paste available there. If I want 3 identical text boxes, I have to create each one and fiddle about getting them all exactly the same size and then fiddle some more without zoom to line them up as required. I know I can do it by editing the text, but if I have to do that it partly negates the point of having the tool. So, any plans to introduce zoom and maybe copy and paste? Thanks again for your patience, and best regards. Dave.  |

Dave, zoom works for text in editing windows.
The GUI builder appears in your own screen resolution. There is no zoom feature.
Right-click on a control to open a properties dialog. Set X, Y, W(idth) and H(eight) to your desired values, then click OK. You will need to do this for each control.
Also, be sure to have the grid active so that controls automatically snap-to lines in the grid. That makes aligning them easier.
