Hi to all,
In windows development environments a programmer can move or position any of the controls on a form.
Is this possible with code charge studio?
If yes how?
Thanking you in advance

Steps:
- Highlight control.
- Right mouse click then select cut for that control name.
- Position cursor to new location.
- Right mouse click then select paste (not generic paste but paste for that control name).

Mike,
With little practice in CCS you can also move controls by dragging them (and even forms if you click on the initial form tag, wait a second, then drag the form by that form tag). But this doesn't work very cleanly, therefore do not save your page until you publish and test that it still works. I mention this only because I use this method.
Cuting & pasting is indeed much safer.

However, are you also asking about the absolute positioning of controls on the page(?). Since Web applications create HTML, you're limited by the HTML, which uses relative positioning. Therefore you cannnot position the elements just anywhere, unless you create tables and/or graphics that "hold" the other elements in place, or use DHTML. CCS actually uses a very simple HTML Design component, while you may use some external tools that create HTML tables automatically, or are generally used for HTML design. For example you may open a CCS/HTML page in DreamWeaver and make more detailed changes there.
Again - the other tools are also limited by HTML standards and may not necessarily be able to help you position everything as you need.
