Operations like selecting, moving, deleting, copying and so on are common to all screen elements in the Screen Painter. You can use this function as a reference for performing basic operations with screen elements.
Selecting, moving, and deleting elements is different if you are using the layout editor in alphanumeric mode .
Selecting Screen Elements
Do one of the following:
Use the arrow keys to select individual elements one by one.
Deleting Screen Elements
To delete a screen element, select it and choose Edit → Delete.
When you delete a table control or a tabstrip control, all of its elements are also deleted. Deleting a group box deletes only the box, not its contents.
Moving Screen Elements
Do one of the following:
Elements cannot overlap. Elements in a group box behave like grouped elements.
Resizing Screen Elements
The mouse cursor changes shape if the object can be resized.
You can also resize the screen by selecting and dragging the screen border. Alternatively, you can change the number of rows and columns in the element attributes.
Repeat and Undo Actions
You can always undo or repeat your last action, even if you deleted an element, by using the undo and redo functions.
Cut, Copy, and Paste
You can cut, copy, and paste screen elements by using the corresponding functions from the Edit menu or from the standard toolbar.
