Form Designer Options

Designer Options:

   
    Some basic settings for the wxWidgets form designer can be set through the Tools menu and selecting Designer Options.

Grid Settings

    In the first box, the grid settings can be modified:

• Show Form Grid - Toggle grid on/off
• Snap to Grid - Components will be aligned to the nearest grid point
• X-, Y-coordinate grid interval - The spacing used between grid ticks

Behaviour Settings

    In the second box, the visual designer can be set to "floating". When this box is checked, the visual designer window(s) will be undocked from the IDE. Floating makes it easier to manage large windows. For example, in the image below, the two designer forms (left) are floating independently of the wxDev-C++ IDE (right).
