>There has to be a simple way of doing this (there is in VFP by locking the control). Let's say I want to add 10 radio buttons, currently I am going between the toolbox and the designer surface 10 times, or I can also copy and paste. Either way it is a pain. Is there any way I can "lock" the currently selected control in the toolbox and then just click 10 times on the designer surface to get 10 controls?

I don't see any such option in Visual Studio.

In VFP you can also double-click. I tried this in Visual Studio, with the interesting result that a copy of the object was immediately placed on the form. So, you might:

Place one copy of the desired control manually, to get the initial position.

Repeteadly double-click on the form.

Play around with the alignment options.

Not exactly what you were looking for, I suspect.
