Hi,
Is there an easy way to drop several of the same Control onto a Form at
design time.
I think in Delphi, many years ago, if you held the shift or ctrl key as you
selected the Control in the IDE toolbar you could click several times on the
form & get lots of the same Control ... good for labels etc.
Have read docs & experimented but have not found this feature.

Chris Gillard

Yes, it's similar to Delphi: hold shift and click on the control in the
palette. Then, you can place that control every time you do click on the
form, until select the arrow tool again.

Jose,
Thanks for that ... Shift then select works fine.
I'm sure I tried that a while ago & failed.
Oh well, it works now.
