Do you mean they would all have the same cx, cy? You would indicate the
default on the first bitmap and every control of that CLASS would default
but you could override if you wanted? I can do that. Would have to come up
with some way to indicate that is what you wanted to happen, though. If
you've see this before, how did you indicate to do this?

So you would want to give the first name and caption and from then on, while
in multi drop, the same name would have an incrementing number after it?
Such as MyButton, MyButton1, MyButton2?

You copy a single control by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on
the control and dragging it to the new location.

It might be easier to have a group copy. I have had a request for that for a
long time. I assume their relative position to one another stays the same.

Not as difficult as you might think. It is an interesting idea. Let me mull
it over....
Thanks for your comments,
