Operation Mode and Design Mode
There are two modes for the user control editor/user module editor and the component editor:
“operation mode” and “design mode.” In operation mode you adjust parameters, while in design
mode you lay out controls.
You can switch between operation mode and design mode using the context menu that is displayed
when you right-click in the user control editor/user module editor or component editor.
The [Design Mode] command switches the design mode between ON and OFF. A checkmark
appears when the design mode is turned ON. If you click in the context menu when the checkmark is
present, design mode will turn OFF, and the edit window will return to operation mode.
NOTE
Only users for whom the [Operation Security]  [Edit] checkbox in the “Security” dialog box has been checked can turn the
design mode ON.
NOTE
You can select controls in the component editor so that you can copy them into the user control editor/user module editor.
When you want to select multiple objects, hold down the <Ctrl> key as you click each new object you want to select.
