Bob needs help stopping controls overlapping

Hello,

I have a selection of button controls that a user can drag and drop
around a form. I need to find a way to stop these controls overlapping
one another - very similar to how windows desktop works.

I know I could use the math to work this out.....

does anyone have any code for this or perhaps know a better way?

Thanks

Bob
