Also, immediately after pasting, if you press the up arrow, one of the
controls (if you just pasted a group) will pop into sight, and you can
position it and grab the top value to set in the remainder of the controls
as yet unseen.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: moving controls to scrolling regi
It's relative positioning - meaning if the control is 100 pixels from the
left on the form, it's going to be pasted 100 pixels left on the scrolling
region (plus 5 pixels I think). What I do is move the control near the
top left of the form before I copy. Then when I paste, it's near the top
left of the region (or any other "container" control that I might be
pasting to.)

I click on the items that need to be move, then Copy. Then make
sure you click on the region so that the region is highlighted.
Then Paste. Now where in the heck they are in the region might be
a mystery. Look at your object tree if you don't see the controls
and find out if there are there. Sometimes I make my region a one-
liner first, with one big fat row to find where the controls are.

I?ve added a scrolling region to a form.
I want to move some of the existing controls onto the scrolling region.
Is there a trick to this? Nothing I past on the region takes, or it
lands on the form behind it.
Thanks
