Selecting components

Topic group Related topics

To work with a component once you’ve placed it on the form, first select it. Once you select a component, you can resize it, move it, or delete it. You can also change its properties.

To select a component, do one of the following:

Click the component.

Press Tab or Shift+Tab until it’s selected.

Select it from the drop-down list at the top of the Inspector.

When a component has focus, its handles—small, black squares around the periphery—are visible.

Note

If it is a component that is part of a custom form or report class, the handles are white to remind you that you have selected such a component, because you may not want to change it.
