... what is the purpose/function of "SPACER"?
The "Spacer" property of the Bevel control is used to occupy
an empty space.
This property is best used when the Bevel "Align" property is
set to Left for empty space on a left side of a form and then
different control with Align property are also aligned to left.
To test this property, try the following step-by-step exercise:
01. On an empty form, place a Bevel control with the following
Bevel Properties:
Align: Left
Style: Lowered
Shape: Spacer
Notice the entire Bevel control being aligned on the left
side of form.
Adjust the width as you wish.
02. Now place any form control with Align property, such as
DB Rich Edit with the following properties:
Align: Left
Notice the placement of DB Rich Edit control right beside
the exactly allocated space of Bevel with Spacer.
The spacer is being used as empty space.
If you remove the Bevel control, the DB Rich Edit control
will be aligned all the way to left side of the form and
there will be no empty space.
That very simple exercise should explain everything itself!
That's all there is to it!
