Aligning Controls on a Guide
The sizing handles of controls snap to guides when the controls are moved, and guides snap to controls (if there are no controls previously snapped to the guide). When a guide is moved, controls that are snapped to it move as well. Controls snapped to more than one guide are resized when one of the guides is moved.
The tick marks in the rulers that determine the spacing of guides and controls are defined by dialog units (DLUs). A DLU is based on the size of the dialog box font, normally 8-point MS Shell Dlg. A horizontal DLU is the average width of the dialog box font divided by four. A vertical DLU is the average height of the font divided by eight.
To size a group of controls with guides
Snap one side of the control (or controls) to a guide.
Drag a guide to the other side of the control (or controls).
If necessary with multiple controls, size each to snap to the second guide.
Move either guide to size the control (or controls).
To change the intervals of the tick marks
From the Format menu, choose Guide Settings.
In the Guide Settings Dialog Box, in the Grid Spacing field, specify a new width and height in DLUs.
