Overlapping controls???

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?...
