Can't move controls in VB6

Question

I'm working on a small project in VB6, and am trying to fiddle with the positions and sizes of the controls in the Design View. But they won't move or resize; one grabs the little handles and nothing happens. Does anyone know why, and what to do about it?

Answer 1

Try right-clicking on your form (not any of the controls on it,) and unchecking Lock Controls.

The option can also be found at the end of the standard toolbar, and will look like this when locked:

Answer 2

Is the form read-only? This might prevent you from resizing. You might want to check the overall options (might have snap to grid on, which would prevent very small changes.)
