Hi Pranav: Sorry, typos and I did not delete some junk, getting sloppy in my old age -grin. And, thanks for the url, that is what I was actually going to ask you for but then thought I could look it up and not have you spend your time doing my homework. Tried to delete that request but must have not got it all. Thanks for the url Big Guy. How is the Economy over there holding up?

We are looking at it and I will write up a step by stepblurb and post if I get it working. I just tested out the Table Layout Control with Windoweyes. I had to just tab to the Table Control and blindly drop a label and textbox on it. They were put in the first row Row 0 column 0 and column 1. The properties for each control tell what row and column itis in. I could not modify the control size properties but am going to seeif I can change the row and column settings in the properties window to put onecontrol on top of the other, ie. row 0 column 0, row 1 column 0 instead ofthe default of row 0 column 0 row 0 column 1. If this works this would be one way of positioning controls with a table and not relying on the Forms Designer other than as a container to blindly plop controls onto. I'll post up in a few minuts.

I have passed along what I can remember but most of my knowledge was in files I had assembled, and may well have lost in a double drive crash I suffered here about a month back. I'm still working on salvaging things, and may be able to get things back,or some of it, but most of it is in limbo right now.Jamal knows some about it, and Sina probably could search out some of the same posts I had from his massive archives of BP postings, I'd give thatatry. sorry I can't be more helpful, it truly grieves me to be so unable, inthane 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.com operator: Fruit Basket Demo Sight, where you can find a similar projectdone in several programming languages, along with its source code, so youcan decide what language is right for you http://fruitbasketdemo.alacorncomputer.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricks Place" <OFBGMail@xxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 3:12 AM Subject: Re: moving controlsHi 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 theyread properly and look ok by using something like the flow panel controlor table layout control or something else. What about the Anchor control property? Can I anchor based on another control somehow?Whatabout 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 thisprocess 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 willnot read the table nor cells in the designer so I have no clue where todrop 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 theProperties 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 whenit comes to accessibility issues and visual challanges. If I figureanything out I will do a step by step for publishing on your grab bag ifyou want, might save someone else some headaches someday.
