Hi Inthane:I can set the size and position manually by specifying numbers for the horizontal and vertical values of the position property. What I would like to do is be able to lign up say 3 label textbox controls so they read properly and look ok by using something like the flow panel control or table layout control or something else. What about the Anchor control property? Can I anchor based on another control somehow?What about docking, sounds interesting? If you have done this cool, if not I will start Googling them to see if anything pops up that might make this process easier. I use Windoweyes so working in the forms designer and with the Table Layout control has not been something I could do since Windoweyes will not read the table nor cells in the designer so I have no clue where to drop labels nor textboxes to get them into the cells correctly. I will look at the properties for a table layout control to see if I can do something there but not likely since I can't drop anything into the Properties Windo itself but might be able to put the name of a label or textbox control in the appropriate cell, if the cells are properties of the bloody table layout control and it lets me do that. Sorry, Allot of options but I have not found the slam dunk yet so am just asking how you guys have done positioning. Absolutely no substitute for experience when it comes to accessibility issues and visual challanges. If I figure anything out I will do a step by step for publishing on your grab bag if you want, might save someone else some headaches someday.

you can use the layout system, or you can change the position in the properties window for the control by using the "top" and "left" properties, same with size using the "width" and "height" properties.proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" www.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Agemtree "merchants in fine facetted and cabochon gemstones" www.agemtree.comoperator: Fruit Basket Demo Sight, where you can find a similar project done in several programming languages, along with its source code, so you can decide what language is right for youhttp://fruitbasketdemo.alacorncomputer.com----- Original Message ----- From: "Marvin Hunkin" <startrekcafe@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2008 8:00 AM Subject: moving controlsHi. how do i move controls, on a form in vb.dot net, and got overlapping controls. or do i just use the table layout? cheers Marvin. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
