Just out of curiosity, how do you aesthetically place objects on your forms? I assume you have to specify properties such as top and left for all objects, as well as other properties, programmatically. Is this a trial-and-error -- run the form, look at control placement, modify code, repeat?

I just can not see myself doing this, but maybe I just don't get it. In FPD, it was easy to code placement, but when I discovered the ease of "drag-and-drop", I changed "my ways."
