The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

To place a set of objects on a form and have them equally spaced from each other, follow these steps:

1. Using the mouse, select all the desired objects by:

    - Lassoing all the desired objects at once by clicking and holding the
      left mouse button, and then moving the mouse pointer around all the
      desired objects.

      -or-

    - Clicking each object in turn as you hold down the SHIFT key.

2. To place the selected objects vertically, choose Vertical Spacing from
   the Format menu; then select the Make Equal option. To place the
   selected objects horizontally, choose Horizontal Spacing from the Format
   menu; then select the Make Equal option.

   If, when selecting items to space vertically, you select objects from
   two columns, the Format Equal Space option will space all selected items
   to a new location, and unexpected results might occur.
