Android Question How do i select multiple controls in a panel in the designer

[Unobtainius]

so panels make moving a bunch of controls around a layout very easy, but when you need select say 75% of them for whatever reason, is there an easier way to select them other than holding down the cntrl key and clicking them one by one?

Click on a view in the treeview, then shift+arrow-down (ctrl+x to remove, ctrl+v to paste in Pane2).

I know, this works only with consecutive views in the treeview but it's better than nothing

Click on a view, press Ctrl, and click on the other views.

Missed that one.

Click somewhere in the Designer and and move the mouse, it shows a rectangle and all views insides or touching this rectangle are selected when you release the mouse button.

Yes but this will not work with views that are inside a panel.

No, that means you are in the same hurry as young people

Another way to do it is :
1. In Designer, move mouse pointer slightly to the left of the first view.
2. While holding the left mouse button, drag the mouse to make a sweep around the views in questions.
