This, in my view, is a little more ponderous. If you press the F4 key, it will take you to the property page of the control. I assume you already know this? Then use the cursor up or down arrow to find, Height, Left or Width in the list of properties. Then, I'm afraid, it is a matter of memory and calculation to get the controls placed and sized on the form. I also assume you realise that you will need to TAB into the EditBox to change the value of that particular property value AND SHIFT+TAB to return to the property list, so that you can move to one property to another? If you TAB twice from the property list, you will be able to move up and down to each control on the form, then TAB twice to get to the control's property list.

I am Visual Basic programmer, and I am working with VB 6.0. I am interesting, how to arrange a controls on a form, and what's the best arrangements, such as: Width, Height, Top, and Bottom for a controls on a form. For example if I want to present a dialog box, how to know what's properties are the best, because I want all controls to be visible, without overlapping, and text to be inside a control, not outside. Also, I am interesting needs textbox to be right from label, or below. As a totally blind person, I have not picture about control arrangement on a form, as persons without disabilities.
