It should be simple and easy like other Windows program. I tried to use Ctrl or Shift key to select multiple controls, but both don't work. Any tricks to do this?

Thanks,

Pei

Hi @ppei,
Have you tried selecting them in the window on the left of the screen while holding down the control key? Should also work when holding down the control key and selecting the items on the screen.

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes. Selecting from the left does makes easier to select mulitple controls though I still cannot do it efficiently. But for now, I accept this as a solution.

Yes, to be clearer. It's not efficient because we still have to left-click for each control that we're adding to the selection. Nuisance..

I just saw this article, perhaps it will help. It has a trick for selecting controls across cards in a form.

No, it doesn't select all form controls and anyway, it's only supposed to work for 'forms'..
