## Forms


You can change the following decompilation settings for forms:

In this section of settings, you can enable displaying offsets next to form objects. This may be necessary, for example, when localizing a program in another language without access to source codes. **Show offsets** will allow you to find the location within the program where these objects are located, their names and properties.


After which, using a [HEX Editor](https://www.vb-decompiler.org/help/patch_data.htm), you can modify these values. Note that if your knowledge is limited to basic user level and you're unfamiliar with the inner workings of binary files - it is recommended not to enable this option. As any incorrect modifications made to the file will make it non-functional, and unnecessary addresses will simply hinder you.
