The following table summarizes these rules:
Unlocking a Composite Monitor
Since a composite monitor functions as a single entity, its individual components are
locked together. If you wish to configure individual components within a composite
monitor, you need to first unlock the monitor. There are two ways in which a composite
monitor can be unlocked, one of which prevents you from moving or resizing individual
components. An unlocked composite monitor has orange handles around its boundary
line.
If you wish to configure properties for individual components within a composite
monitor
• Double-click the composite monitor whose primary elements you wish to configure.
Notice that the handles around the boundary line become orange. When using this
method, you cannot move or resize the monitor’s individual components.
If you wish to add, move, or resize individual components within a composite monitor
• Right-click the composite monitor you wish to modify, and then click Unlock on the
menu. Alternatively, click the monitor, and then press F2.
Notice that the handles around the boundary line become orange.

Note: The region editor is part of the expert view. To show the expert view,
click the View filters button on the Properties pane’s toolbar, and then
select the Expert view check box. Using the region editor is not
recommended. To accomplish most configurations, the standard tools
available in the layout editor are sufficient.
