Arguments: configuration
Returns the value of the allow-component-overlap property of configuration.
The current configuration is the value of
(configuration *system*)
so
(allow-component-overlap (configuration *system))
returns the current value and
(setf (allow-component-overlap (configuration *system)) <new value>)
sets it.
See configuration
and
*system*.
If this property is true, controls on a dialog can overlap one another
(so one partially covers another). If the property value is nil, controls cannot be placed so they overlap while
designing a form with the Integrated Development Environment. (If you
try to position a control over another, the one being positioned moves
when you release the mouse.) However, controls can always be
repositioned programmatically (with, say, (setf left) or (setf top)).
This property does not affect programmatic repositioning. It only
affects the design of forms.
