selecting multiple controls in ide

Cannot select multiple controls in the ide. If I want to move 3 buttons somewhere holding the control or shift key does not allow the controls to be selected. You can only work with one control at a time.

* click the mouse in the upper left corner of all your controls you want to select,

* stay with your mouse button pressed and drag the mouse

* you can watch a rubberband rectangle

* drag the mouse over your controls and leave your finger in the lower right corner



also you can use a control-container like a Usercontrol or a PictureBox just to group all your controls together

If the controls are in different areas this won't work. Sometimes you want to copy just some controls from 1 form to another. So the rubber band won't work.
