  Hmm, well it does help, except for one thing. NOt everyone is going to be 
using the same size screen. So how do you make sure that controls are spaced in 
such a way that it'll work on various resolutions? Or am I looking at this all 
wrong?

  hello,
  You need to consider half way in terms of your window size.
  So, if your window is 500x500, then half way would be 250.
  HTH,

    Working on some vb.net assignments for school, using visual studio 2008. 
I've figured out how to place controls on the form using the jaws scripts and 
it works wonderfully, but I'm having a bit of trouble visualizing my layout. 
Basically, I'm not quite sure based on the numbers just how far over on my 
screen the control really is. If a control has its left edge at 300, is that 
halfway across? a fourth of the way? way the heck off the screen? I've noticed 
that once a control gets to a certain point and you add a new control, VS puts 
it back at 0,0 instead of to the right and down from where you were, but not 
sure if that really means anything. Any experienced VS users who could give me 
a bit of help conceptualizing this would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
