Move a control via Keybord, only one pixel ?!

Hello,

I have a small problem, in VB.net when design a form, put some
controls on a form and then try to change their location via keyboard,
I use CTRL+arraws, but the controls are moved only one pixel. I found
that a bit anoying as in VB6 the controls were "snap to grid". Is this
still possible in VB.NET ? And where can I change this ?

Thanks,
Adi

Hi Adrian,

Did you try using the anchor or dock properties?

HTH,
