Object Information Display Criteria
The type of object information (preselect or selection) that is displayed on the Show Selection Info toolbar in the design window depends on the number of objects selected and the location of the mouse pointer on the canvas. For example, when no object is selected on the canvas and the mouse pointer is placed on an empty space, then no object information is displayed on the toolbar.
The following table describes various combinations of object selection and mouse pointer position and the corresponding type of information displayed on the Show Selection Info toolbar in the design window.
