Problem - movable objects in menus.

Wednesday, September 28, 2005 by eraroha | Discussion: DesktopX

I am new to Desktop X. While I think its great I ran into a problem that seems to be on almost every theme I load. Most of the objects in the menus are movable. For instance you can accidently click on text or a button move it. Some objects can be moved some cant. Is there a fix for this? Is there away to lock them down. Some themes have more movable objects then others. See the included image for an example.

If you right click on the movable object, and select properties-relations tab, there you can set the movement to locked (must have builder running). Some theme designers leave them unlocked, I guess, so they can be moved if you want, others just don't bother to lock them.

Objects can be locked, but part of a movable group by parental or group relationships. Designers will usually establish these though.

If you know there are many objects you would like to set as locked, use the List view. Right click on the dxbuilder systray icon and select List objects. On the list, use Ctrl-Clicks to select all the objects you want to lock, then right click, properties. There you can set them all to locked at once.
