What's "Lock Controls" for ?

It's under the "Format" menu.

I've selected a group of controls and "Locked" them and then you can't move them on the form anymore...is that it?
What good is that?

What I'm looking for is a way to "group" several objects together as an entity so that I can move "it" around in tact without having to hand select each separate object.

yes...lock the control so you dont accidentally move it.

to "group" some controls...you could stick them in a borderless PicBox


select all the controls... Cntrl - X to cut them

then add the pic box....select the pic box...then Paste them in

PicBox..like a frame...is a container

I didn't know that about the frame being a container. That's just what I needed to know geoff_xrx

Thanks.

or if you wanna move several objects at the same time but keep them together. click one of them, hold CTR and click the others one by one!
simple yet effective!

bradley...yeah that works...but i found it a pain when you have to do it a few times...or if you need to programically move the controls.

its better to dump them in a 'container' then you can move the container with code...and they all move along with it!
