Placing Controls
Controls can be placed when you are in the design mode. You can turn the design mode ON and OFF
by right-clicking in the user control editor/user module editor, or component editor, then clicking the
[Design Mode] command in the context menu that is displayed.
You can place controls by dragging them from the component editor or by using the copy and paste
commands.
■ Selecting Controls
If you click a control in the component editor while in design mode, the control will be selected and
a red frame will be displayed around it. Controls like knobs, sliders, edit boxes, and labels are all
separate objects. Only the item clicked will be selected.
If you hold down the <Ctrl> key while clicking, you can select multiple controls and labels. If you
use <Ctrl> + click on a selected control, it will cancel that control’s selection.
If you position the mouse in an empty location on the sheet and start dragging from there, a frame
will be displayed as the pointer moves. All controls enclosed by that frame will be selected.
