Screen Designer - Object Maneuvering

How can I move objects in the screen designer one pixel at a time?

For finer control over the movement and placement of objects, use the arrow keys on your keyboard rather than the mouse. If Snap to Grid is off, this method allows moving objects by a single pixel at a time. If Snap to Grid is on, the object will move by one grid square. To do this, click on the object to select it, then use the arrow keys to move the object.

You can use a similar method to resize objects. This will change the size of an object by one pixel at a time, regardless of whether Snap to Grid is on or off:

1. Click on the object to select it.
2. Hold down the Ctrl key.
3. Use the arrow keys to adjust the size of the object.
4. Release the Ctrl key.

Here is a way to create a check box with a "3D" look:

1. Place a check box on the screen.
2. Click on the check box to select it.
3. Hold down the Ctrl key.
4. Press the down arrow key three times.
5. Release the Ctrl key.
