Can I programmatically change properties of selected userform controls when I am designing the form?

[DanMcG]

I have created code to add 4 new commands to a context menu (MSForms Control) that is shown when I right click on selected controls in a userform. Basically I want to nudge the selected controls in a particular direction (up/down/left/right) a set number of pixels? I realize that the Selection command is only for Excel proper and not VBE. Is there a way of looping through the 'selection set' of selected controls and modify the Top/Left properties when I am constructing the userform?

I've determined that this cannot be done, so how do I close the question?

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1").designer.controls("ComboBox1").left = 0

and/or

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1").designer.controls("ComboBox1").top = 0

note that ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1").designer properties and methods are hidden and there is no intellisense available

This can be done by accessing the .Designer property of the selected vbcomponent. Below will move the selected controls a specific direction a number of pixels.

Sub nudgeHor(distanceInPixels As Long)
    Dim ctl    As Control
    For Each ctl In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(Application.VBE.SelectedVBComponent.Name).Designer.Selected
        ctl.Left = ctl.Left + distanceInPixels
    Next ctl
End Sub
Sub nudgeVer(distanceInPixels As Long)
    Dim ctl    As Control
    For Each ctl In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(Application.VBE.SelectedVBComponent.Name).Designer.Selected
        ctl.Top = ctl.Top + distanceInPixels
    Next ctl
End Sub
