Using the object editor

The object editor is a hierarchical view of the windows in your frame or dialog box.

To edit a window, you may create a new frame or dialog box from the Edit menu, or click on a window name in the listbox on the main wxBuilder window

Panel items may be repositioned by dragging with the left mouse button, selected and deselected with left click, and resized by dragging on the handles visible when the object is selected. Frames may be sized interactively as normal, and dialog box size may be specified in the relevant properties dialog.

Each type of window has a property editor associated with it, allowing tailoring of specific window characteristics. To invoke a property editor, right-click on the panel item or object in the hierarchy. This pops up a menu for editing or deleting the object.

To align panel items, select two or more items, and use an alignment tool on the tool bar. The first item selected is taken as the reference for aligning the other items.
