Well, you know the form's size, and you know the control's size, and if
you read the status line with the control focused, you'll also get the x
and y location relative to the form window. You can also get the color
information from the control's properties in the IDE. So that should
provide you with all the information you're looking for, right?

Hi Aaron: OK.
What I was trying to do when I started was checking the visibility of
the TextBox on the Form.
What are it's top, bottom, left and right values and what about the
colors, back and fore.
I am using the ctrl&Plus key for the cursor position but without
getting it to the end that fails, then I used the mouse and tried
mucking with that a little.
My main purpose is to see where the TextBox is and how big it is and
it's background and foreground colors for now.
I am testing the use of the Anchor properties in moving and
extending this TextBox as the form is displayed in it's original
size and in the full screen mode with automatic automatic scaling
I will also then want to check out changing font sizes to see how
it works for accessibility transitioning from normal font to large
font and how the controls autosize or ReSize if I have to code the
changes.
I can get allot info programatically but that doesnt mean it is
actually shown the way I might expect on the screen and thus the
need to analyze what is being displayed using WE.
My only other thought was to try moving the mouse around and see
if I can somehow identify these boundries but having a hard stop
would be much faster and, thus trying to get to the left, right
and top and bottom using quick WE navigation hot keys.
Any cool suggestions to save a little time for eevery test of a
change in some property and subsequent analysis of the form and
the TextBox?
