Use the Grid command from the Options menu to control the display of a grid in your Painter window. A grid helps you to position your controls on a form. You can also define the scale of your grid spacing.
To access the Grid Options dialog, perform one of the following actions
Select the Grid command from the Options menu
Click the Grid toolbar button (toggles the grid display on or off only)
When you select the Grid command from the Options menu (or you press Alt+O, G), the Grid Options dialog is then displayed. For details about specifying your grid options, see "Using Grids to Position Controls on Forms", earlier in this chapter.
