copy / paste of controls in views not preserving position attribute

I finally discoved why controls are not getting pasted into my multiview
"view". The position attribute (absolute, normal, offset) is being set to
absolute. I assume this is a "feature" of the designer?

I copy a control that is in a "normal to flow" position in one view and
paste it into another view as I need the same control. Iinstead, it appears
at the top of the document. I then find it at the top of the document (it
could be under somthing so I am now making room for this misplacement).
Anyway, I select style then position and then set the position to "normal to
view" or "offset" instead of absolute and SURE ENOUGH the control
immediately jumps to the view I had pasted it on in the first place!
Can I assume this feature is normal behavior? Can I set some property so
that "normal" or "offset" position gets inherited on the panel and when I
paste a control it goes where I paste it instead where it wants to go?
...thanks for letting me blow off some steam..

Hi! To spare to make always the same settings in the attributes of the controls I usually make them once for each type of element (button, list, web browser, ...) and then use copy and paste. But it's a bit annoying that the copy is always placed near the center of a panel rather than on the same position. For example this would be pretty useful to place a cancel

How can I get state of dynamically created controls (RadioButton, CheckBox, TextBox.Text) on post back when I click submit button? The only way I know is by traversing Response.Form enumberator; Response.Form.GetEnumerator(), etc. while, identifying specific controls by programmatically assigned unique id (e.g. MyButton_AnswerID_123). However, I am not sure if that is the proper way. What is the common practice?

Hello All, I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image, they select an image using an OpenFileDialog: Dim result As DialogResult = Pic_Sel.ShowDialog() If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then
