I agree that the form designer (with the JAWS scripts) is preferable to
hand coding pixel locations and sizes of controls. If layout containers
such as FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel are used, however, hand
coding does not need to involve pixel coordinates. Moreover, these
layout containers can automatically resize controls if the user adjusts
the size of the form. Unfortunately, managing the layout containers in
the form designer is difficult with speech.
