Lasso Capability

Hiya Alyce

I've been using Workshop, and noticed there appears to not be a "lasso" function? You probably know what I am referring to...most graphics or paint programs have this function. If you want to move a group of objects around, you can click on a lasso icon, then with the mouse, surround the objects to move with a lasso and then move them as a group (or individually). Working on my first little program with a few textboxes and command buttons, I found its really hard to set things up just the way you want them, gotta go in an change the code for the x,y positions and h X W values manually in code. Is there a possibility in a future revision to include a lasso function?

Thanks Alyce Jimmy

I do know what you describe. It would be a nice enhancement. Perhaps I will be able to add it in the future.

Until that time, do you have the snap-to grid in place? It can be turned on and off. Be sure it is turned on. That way, controls snap to the grid lines, both in location and dimensions. It is much easier to keep things in line and keep the same dimensions for multiple controls.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Alyce: Sizing Grid, I see the icon. I clicked on it and a grid appears, so I bet this is what you mean by "snap to." Still struggling with the obvious, because there is a LOT to learn.
I appreciate your patience. Jimmy
