LCD Screen Editor: Moving and Resizing Fields

Fields can be positioned anywhere in the screen and can be from 1 to 8 characters wide. The screen pane is used to show the position and size of the fields. It is also used to move and resize the fields, either through commands on the Field menu or by pointer drag operations.

To move a field using the Movement commands:

In the tree or screen pane, select the field to move.
On the Field menu, click Move Up, Move Down, Move Left, or Move Right. You can also use the shortcut menu or shortcut keys (CTRL+UP ARROW, CTRL+DOWN ARROW, CTRL+LEFT ARROW, and CTRL+RIGHT ARROW).

To move a field by dragging:

Position the pointer over the field you wish to move. Ensure that the pointer changes to the move pointer.
Click and drag the field to its new location. A shadow will show the new location until the mouse button is released.

To change a field size using the Increase/Decrease Width commands:

In the tree or screen pane, select the field to resize.
On the Field menu, click Increase Width or Decrease Width. You can also use the shortcut menu or shortcut keys (CTRL+W and CTRL+Q).

To change a field size by dragging:

Position the pointer over the left or right edge of the field you wish to resize. Ensure that the pointer is a double arrow to indicate you can resize that edge.
Click and drag the field's edge to its new size. A shadow will show the new field size until the mouse button is released.

You can also change a field's size from the field pane's Format tab. See Format Tab Details.
