set Image component as non-movable in IDE?

[Tony1l]

I use Delphi ver 2007 and wanted to know if there's any way to load a VCL form with an image1 component and flag it as non-movable in the IDE or lock it down in the form while editing.
I'm duplicating an existing and rather complex paper form into a program. I add nearly 92 edit & checkbox components on the Image1 and carefully line them up with the background image. The struggle is when editing i'm continually inadvertently moving the background image. With enough time I'll realign them all but it would be so much easier to have some way to lock the image in the IDE. At run-time its perfectly locked but not while editing.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the luxury of trying Delphi 2007 but in D7 there is an option to "Save Desktop". Once saved, you can recall it at will.

contain your image and controls into a tpanel, set image alignment to alclient, align panel to whatever you need to and design without worries...
