IDE -- Is it possible to COPY controls on a form?

[Red2]

I find that HMG is far more powerful than its current "Help" file reveals. I have explored HMG for only about 6 months so have questions. For example:

Question: In HMG's IDE is there some way to directly copy an existing control right there on the form?

Right now I must:

• exit the project
  open the .FMG file in notepad++
  copy and paste the control
  make necessary name, row, column, etc. changes
  save the file
  reload the project
  reopen the form

Is there a better way?

Thank you all for your kind help.

There is no better way

I think right-click on the control in the ide gives you context menu with 'copy/duplicate'
Also I remember there was a button for duplicate control on top right, not sure.
