I can do that. Would have to come up >with some way to indicate that is what you wanted to happen, though. Yes, that's what I mean. And more also. For example, if select a button, the default name is PushButton1. I might want to call it AButton1. I would like it if I could set that as a default, and then the next button I select would be called AButton2. >If >you've see this before, how did you indicate to do this? I don't remember where I saw this. I think it was Borland C++ Builder. What they did was allow you to change the values in the property sheet, and whatever values you set last became the default. I think there was a menu option that would let you toggle whether previous values became defaults. I like the idea of being able to right click a control in the toolbox to set the default though. I think it would be less obtrusive for those that don't want it, and for newbies who might get overwhelmed by too many options. Since I now know that I can copy controls (I assume they keep the size I set, and don't revert to the default size when pasted. The name reverting to default I can live with), this is much less needed. I would rather have you concentrate on more important things. Group copy works for me. That would be just as good to me as multiple selection of controls for copying.
