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?

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.

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.
