Move several controls certain left and/or top at the same time.
Not sure if other add-ins do this (probably), but one feature that the VB6 IDE lacks is the ability to move all the selected controls at the same time certain left and/or top.

Sometimes it is necessary to add one or more controls to a form in the middle of other controls and you need to make room for them, so you need to shift an entire block of controls in some vertical (or horizontal, but usually vertical) space, and the IDE does not provide the ability to move them the exact offset.
You have to move them around with the mouse, but whether you have the IDE set to snap to the grid or not, the controls never end up in the right place. In the end, you have to set the position of each one by hand, and that's very cumbersome.
This add-in provides a solution for that problem.
