Move multiple controls in one go

[pijn_mar]

I'm evaluating SWT designer now for one day and now already love using it

I would like to know if it is possible to select multiple controls (using marquee?) and then move position of all selected controls on a FormLayout by just moving mouse?

Use the Marquee command in the tool palette to select multiple widgets.

To move multiple widgets using FormLayout, you need to be using the latest v4.0.1 build (2005.06.03 or later).

Thanks indeed it is working now

One thing I noticed in the new build is the initial height of the text control is changed it is bigger than usual.

Is there a control availble that allows to include an image on a form?

A nice feature would be to have the possibility to space multiple selected controls evenly, not only related to form, but also between eg top control and bottom control in range of selected controls. I recall the delphi ide having such an option...

Nothing in Designer has changed that would affect the height of a text control. That height is determined by the font you are using and the layout manager you are using.

The SWT Label widget is good for that.

That is already available using the "Space equally" functions on the toolbar. Selecting the command by itself will distribute the selected widgets evenly between opposite sides of the form. Holding down the Ctrl key will distribute the widgets evenly between the widgets on each end of the selection (at least three widgets must be selected).
