Component
position in form metadata is all relative to the top left corner of
the form. When you select this option, the component location
information is calculated relative to whatever contains the
component (for example, a Notebook Tab or a Group Box).
This information is never stored in the metadata but is used when synchronizing forms and can be used when generating pseudo code, so that a component's position relative to its container can be compared. This allows for a container to be moved but only the difference in the container's position shows up in the comparison and not the absolute positions of everything it contains. |

After you have made your selections and settings, click this button to generate the pseudo code. | |
To stop the pseudo code generation process, click this button. |
