Moving Controls about Your Form

To move a control or a group of selected controls about your form

Drag the control or selected controls that you want to move.

A control that you can drag is indicated by the cursor changing shape to a four-headed arrow as it passes over the control. All selected controls move during the drag operation.

You can use the SHIFT key and the drag operation to move a selected control or controls. Selecting more than one control requires you to hold down the SHIFT key or the CTRL key during selection. As it is possible to inadvertently shift or copy controls during a multiple selection operation, turn on the control move lock functionality (by selecting the Lock Control Positions command from the Options menu or clicking the Control move lock padlock toolbar button) and then use the SHIFT key during multiple control selection).
