Can I move the controls, eg. text box, labels, on forms by dragging it in
fine movements?

Try using the Up/Down/Left/Right arrow keys alone or combined with the Shift
or Control keys.

Yes, this is what I did.
However, when I used with ctrl and arrow keys, it is not moved pixel by
pixel. The movement distance is quite coarse.
It will jump to a cm far.

- In VS.NET 2003, using Ctrl+Arrow keys moves the controls pixel by pixel.
- In VS 2005, using just Arrow keys moves the controls pixel by pixel.

I have just tested it.

Yes, just use arrow.
I used with CTRL so no luck.
Thanks
