crap - a 2.1 feature did slip through ... i thought I had redid all those RIGHT properties ... in 2.1, setting the RIGHT property has been "defined" - by that I mean nailed down once and for all. I had a tough time with that because setting the RIGHT property can have two meanings:
1) The object MOVES to the position designated as RIGHT ... example - if you had a BUTTON that was 50x50 at the left of the form - then you set its RIGHT property to somewhere around the right edge of the form ... the button would MOVE to that location - not be RESIZED to that location.
2) The object RESIZES to the position designated as RIGHT - ie - the button would RESIZE to be a big honking button that strecthes from the RIGHT of the form - to the LEFT of the FORM - a big guy.
In my own mind - This behavior of the RIGHT and BOTTOM properties I call "STICKY" settings ... the LEFT and TOP edge stick and the RIGHT and BOTTOM edge move - and the whole control resizes with it ... kinda like dragging an object by the lower bottom corner to be BIGGER.
STICKY RIGHT and STICKY BOTTOM - lol
ps.
Thats one of the benefits of plaing with Kixtart Forms ... you get to observe all these weird behaviors and coin your own phrases. rofl
