Size A Control

Change the size of a Form Control to a specific size or to match the size of other Controls.

Use the Form Editor (accessed from within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator) to define a Control's size.

  1. Open a Form in the Form Editor.
  2. Click a Control.
    Tip: Hold down the SHIFT key while sizing a Control to maintain the proper aspect ratio.
    CAUTION:
    If a label is tied to a Control (Tied to Control option is enabled), both the Control and label are selected when either item is clicked (essentially, the Control and label are grouped). Use caution when sizing "grouped" Controls.
  3. Do one of the following:
    Sizing Method Instructions
    Manually size a Control.

    Click-and-drag one of the handles (white or black box) to the size you want.

    Auto-size a text Control to be exactly the right size to hold all its contained text.

    Click the Auto-size button Auto-Size Button on the Form Editor toolbar.

    Note: Auto-size is automatically set on the following Controls: Check box, Label, Link Label, and Radio button.
    Tip: Auto-size is useful for Expression-driven labels because it automatically resizes the label's bounding box to accommodate dynamic text.
    Explicitly size a Control to a specified pixel height and width.

    Right-click>Position (or press CTRL+SHIFT+P) to open the Control Position and Size window, then specify the pixel sizes and click OK.

    Size several Controls to the same width, height, or width and height.

    Select at least two Controls (the last selected Control is the controlling Control and is identified by black boxes), and then click the Make Same Width button Make Same Width Button, Make Same Height button Make Same Height Button, or Make Same Size button Make Same Size Button on the Form Editor toolbar.

    Resize an Image Control to be its original size.

    Click the Control, and then click the Auto-size buttonAuto-Size Button.

  4. Publish the Blueprint (File>Publish Blueprint) to commit the changes, or save the Blueprint (File>Save Blueprint) to continue making other changes.
