Designer - Snap to Grid and Grid problems

  • I'm not sure if there is something screwed up on my particular machine or not -- But how do I turn off snap to grid and/or change the grid size in the visual studio designer for reports?

    I know this has to be something obvious that I'm missing.  The only place where I see grid options are under TOOLS->Options->Windows Forms Designer->General

    But no matter what I change it has no effect in my report layout designer.  Doesn't matter if I close and reopen the project.  The grid size doesn't change, and snap to grid is always on.

    Also - I ACCIDENTALLY did something to toggle how snap to grid works so that holding down ctrl key makes it snap (as opposed to the default where holding down ctrl disables snap to grid).  However I cannot figure out how I did this and I can't get it back to that state (which is what I want).

    Thanks!

     

  • Hi Gordo

    It's in the properties window.

    Select the report (click outside the report so it says 'Report' not 'Body') and there it is . .

    Don't know how you did the cntrl-key thing though!
