------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 21 19:08:59 -0800 2005 ------- The dialog editor has no apparent method of aligning controls. If I put a row of controls on a dialog, select them, and copy and paste them, the newly pasted items are not aligned to the originals. Even worse, there is no method via the GUI to make them align. Controls seem to 'snap to grid' when dragged around on the dialog ... HOWEVER ... the grid is not a common grid, but a grid which is specific to the controls you have selected. I suspect this is because the dialog editor only allows you to move controls by a fixed amount each time ( for example, by 10 pixels ), so the position(s) you can drag a control to are defined by their original position on the dialog. I suggest: - a menu command which aligns selected items, for example 'align to left-most item', 'align to right-most item', etc. - the ability to move controls by ONE unit at a time I realise that I can double-click on a control and set it's 'PositionX', 'PositionY', 'width', etc. This is completely non-intuitive and a very clumsy way of doing things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
