The options button

Setting the component's text

Any text string can be used to label a component but this may not be totally visible if the preferred size has been set to a value that doesn't allow enough space for the label to be displayed. The text string is transferred to the source when it is generated so that individual components can be more easily identified.

Setting the component's preferred size

The component may be allocated any preferred size desired. Once set it only possible to reset it to another value. The default preferred size is the minimum necessary to display the component's text label and surrounding etched border. If the preferred size is explicitly set and the text for the component is too long for that size then the text will be truncated rather than the component expanding to accomodate the text.

Deleting a component

Any component can be deleted. It is completely removed from the layout leaving the layout without a highlighted current component. Deleting all components is done through the edit menu.

Cancel

The "Cancel" option is there simply as a convenient way of making this popup menu disappear!
