The control-frame manages the location and dimensions of the associated ActiveX control in the user interface. Thus, to orient the ActiveX control at design time, you must set certain control-frame attributes. You can set these attributes directly, using the AppBuilder Property Sheet. You can also set them indirectly by visually manipulating the control in the design window.

Note: For ABL widgets, you can open the AppBuilder Property Sheet by double-clicking on the widget. However for ActiveX controls, this opens the OCX Property Editor window. To access the control-frame widgets Property Sheet, you must select the ActiveX control, then click Object properties or choose Tools > Property Sheet.
