Adding Attachments to Frame Controls

Situations in Which an Attachment Is Ignored

These situations cause an attachment to be ignored:

The component is resized only horizontally, and the attachment is vertical in nature, or vice versa.
The attachment is attached to the side of a sibling, and the location of that side has not changed.
The component that is currently being resized is attached to the component that was originally moved or resized to propagate the event.
The attachment is single directional coming into the component instead of going out of the component.
The actual distance in pixels between the two attached components is within one-half character of the desired distance. This situation applies to both absolute and relative attachments. This shortcut is taken when a component is resized only if the component to be adjusted must be aligned on a character cell boundary or if the attachment has been previously synchronized.
The attachment is between one component in a group of multiple-selected components and another component, and the group of multiple-selected components is moved.
The attachment is associated with a component that uses the conformSize attribute. Attachments have the potential to conflict with the conformSize attribute.
