Grid options in form designer

Hi,

I am having trouble getting the windows form designer to
respect my options. I have set show grid and snap to grid
false from the Options:Windows Form Designer dialog box,
but yet I am still looking at the grid and controls snap
to the grid. How do I get rid of the grid?? I don't want
to see it, and I don't want it controlling where I can
place controls.
thanks.

I couldn't find any postings on how to turn the VS.Net positioning grid on and off in the Google archives, so I'm adding this posting for future reference. The VS.Net positioning grid is controlled for particular WinFowms via properties. The 'SnapToGrid' property controls grid-snapping, the 'DrawGrid' property controls display of the grid, and the 'Gridsize' property controls the spacing of the grid. Defaults for new Winforms can be set...

Greetings! I see from the group archives that a lot of people don't like how Snap to Grid works when placing controls on forms. I am now among that number. When I had the Windows Forms Designer option for snap to grid set to False and the form's SnapToGrid and DrawGrid properties left at their default settings, I could hold down Ctrl and use the arrow keys and my control would move one pixel in the desired direction. But when I used...

When you place controls on the Windows form, there's a grid of dots on the form that defines the drop/alignment matrix. In Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition, you could change the size of the grid by going to the Tool->Options->General and putting in a higher grid size so that you had better control of placing controls. I want to do the same thing in Visual Studio .NET 2003. I went to the Tools -> Options -> Windows Forms Designer ->...

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. Where is the menu item/command to display the grid on the form? I've looked through the options and what not but can't find it. I know its gotta be something simple I'm overlooking (aren't they always) so if anyone here can point it out to me I sure would appreciate it. Thanks! Zach

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
