Boy does this sound like a Newbie question! I guess it was just irritating to me today, so I decided to finally find an answer to it.

Basically, in VBA / Form Design for Access (I can't remember if it's also true in VB6), there was a way to toggle the "Selection Behavior" when "lassoing" controls... You could either have it select controls that had any part included inside the lasso ("Partially Enclosed"), or you could have it select only those controls that were "Fully Enclosed" by the lasso.

Today, I was doing some general form designs, where I still trying to move controls around to give them better coding "feng-shui", so I tend to overlap controls to get them out of the way, and then need to select the particular controls I want to move back into place. Thus I tend to like using the "Fully Enclosed" option, so I don't have to continually CTRL-Click on items I want to remove from the selection.

Is there any way to have similar behavior in the VS.Net IDE?
