Grouping the controls on the form

The controls on the designed form can be grouped by the AddControl event. For instance, if you have the edit and the label above the edit and want to move them together, just use the follow code.

procedure TForm1.FormDesigner1AddControl(Sender: TObject;
  TheControl: TControl);
begin
  with FormDesigner1 do
  begin
    if TheControl=Label1 then AddControl(Edit1);
    if TheControl=Edit1 then AddControl(Label1);
  end;
end;
