AS you correctly said, you can use the arrow keys to move the controls
around the form. You'll hear numbers spoken when you do this,and its really
a case of listening to them, and If you want two labels to be aligned
horizontally, you need to listen for the number which determines the
horizontal position of the label. Alternatively, you could do what I do
which is to set the position and size of controls within the code. Each
control will have a top and a left property, and these can be set, also the
width and height properties can be set, so in this way, you can with a
little spacial imagination, set your form up quite nicely. I expect will or
David will tell you a very good reason why you shouldn't do this, but its
always worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Dave.

Subject: [program-l] VB: Laying out items
So how do blind programmers lay out their design form in studio? I know you can move items with the arrow keys and all, but how do you tell if things are laid out properly, or lined up and so forth. For instance, how do you line up labels with appropriate text fields?
Thanks for any advice,
Signed,
