Copying/Pasting a component

You can use the clipboard to copy and paste components on the same form or between forms. A component is pasted into the same relative position that it occupied in the original container or form.

To copy and paste a component:

  1. Open a form and go into Design Mode.
  2. If you are pasting into another form, open the destination form and go into Design Mode.
  3. On the first form, select one or more components to copy.
  4. From the Edit menu, select Copy.
  5. On the destination form, select Paste from the Edit menu.
  6. If the destination form has containers, you are prompted to identify which container is the destination for the pasted component.
    • To identify a destination container, click the name of the container in the list, and then click Override.
    • To paste the component without a designated container, click None.
    • To paste the component and leave any designated container as is, click Leave As Is.
  7. If necessary, reposition the pasted components.
