Are you talking about doing this at design time, or are you moving controls around at runtime programatically??

If at design time, why not just select all the controls you want to move, then press the up arrow 25 times, the left arrow 25 times and then go and get a cup of tea ;-)

Hi Tom,


If you're putting them all into a canvas parent like I think you are, then you should just be able to move the parent, and all children should move with it.

Correct, and it does, the hassle is copying say a grid of 17x4 controls
and then moving them without having the line them all back up again.



Otherwise I have a request in the bugbase to be able to enter values such as "me.top - 25" etc (object referential maths) in the properties pallete, but I can't find it since the roll over to new bugbase...

We can do it if all the top values are the same, just not if they are different ...
I'll have a look for your feature request.
Couldn't find it.
