THANK YOU ALL! The click on first rule will be the easiest to follow.

Merry Christmas.

>If you notice, there's a box with white "grapples". This will be the box that the left/top/right/bottom/center is aligned to. This box can be chosen from those chosen by simply clicking on one of the boxes/controls you've selected.

>>>>>I am busy updating our FoxPro App to C#, and the class designer layout toolbar is driving me crazy. I've tried to look in various sources to figure out this toolbar. In Foxpro, when you'd select multiple objects (Textboxes, etc.) and click the right, top, etc. align buttons they would always align the most left, the topmost, etc. object. This toolbar seems to work in the opposite direction.
