Copying and pasting controls in the Form painter

Paste the control.

To paste the control within the same form, select Edit>Paste from the menu bar or press Ctrl+V.

To paste the control in another form, open the Form painter again, open the desired form, and paste the control.

InfoMaker pastes the control at the same location as in the source form. If you are pasting into the same form, you should move the pasted control so that it does not overlay the original control. InfoMaker displays a message box if the control you are pasting is not valid in the destination form.
