Topic: One thing I would really like in the form editor

I would like the ability to select multiple items to move at once. 
especially to drag a selectbox around multiple items and they all get selected.  then click and drag the whole group

but optionally to select items and group them so that next time I want to adjust the position I can move thw whole group.     On second thought I guess I could use panes for that part of it.

Hi Timlitw,
If you hold down ALT and SHIFT and then click on any of the elements on the form that you want to move, that should do what you're after.

Re: One thing I would really like in the form editor

Hi,
If you first create a new, empty form, you can then copy all of the elements from one form across onto the new form (using ALT and SHIFT as described earlier).  It's the closest thing to duplicating forms.
Please be aware that properties, actions etc that you have attached to any of the elements will also copy across.
Derek.

Hello.


Just Shift, without ALT.

Check out the MVD Copier to copy forms from one project to another.
