13.4.6..Controls Positions................................................................................

The controls you position on a dialog box or a form assume their given place. Most of the

time, these positions are not practical. You can move them around to any positions of

your choice.

To move a control, click and drag it, while the mouse cursor is a cross , in the desired

direction until it reaches the intended position.

To move a group of controls, first select them. Then drag the selection to the desired

location.

To help with positioning the controls, Visual C++ provides the Dialog toolbar with the

following buttons:
