This is a simple but time consuming problem using Visual Basic 2012
I drag the controls from the Data Source onto my form. The controls and accompanying labels are placed on the form in a very simple and neat pattern, but not necessarily in the sequence I location that I want them to appear for the User's appearance and use. Not I problem, I simply drag the control and label where I want it. Then the problem arises. For each control or label that I move, a second magically appears sitting directly on top of the one created by the system.
This can be a time consuming problem as you have to look at each control, check the name and delete the duplicate. Unfortunately, while you focus on a control to check the name property if you inadvertently move it another control is created.
This can be a minor problem on a small form but if there are a lot of controls to be moved around it can be very time consuming.
I had the same problem with Version 2008 and 2010 but it was not as time-consuming as it is on a form where you are dragging controls from a data source.
I don't know if this is a problem for others or is due to a setting or flaw on my machine or my way of doing things.
Is there a way of correcting this problem?
