Resizing a Shape

You can resize a shape.

To resize a shape, in Spread Designer, select the shape and move the resize handles which appear at the corners and sides of the shape. To resize the shape proportionately, select the corner resize handles. Click to select the object. Then click the handle and drag it.

Spread WinForms displays a selected square with corner and side resize handles for developers resizing shapes in Spread Designer.

As you drag a resize handle, the shape disappears temporarily and only the outline is displayed as a dotted line. The cursor changes indicating that you are resizing the shape.

Spread WinForms displays the dotted resized outline produced while developers drag a shape resize handle in Spread Designer.

When done resizing, let up on the pointer and the shape is displayed with the new size and dimensions.

For a rounded rectangle, you can change the roundness of the ends by clicking and dragging on the rounding handle (yellow square).

You can allow the end user to resize the shape or prevent them from doing so, using the CanSize property.
