Select multiple controls and the dominant control

You can select more than one control in three ways. In addition, when you select multiple controls, one of the controls becomes a reference for the rest and is called the dominant control.

Selection method	What is selected	Dominant control
SHIFT+CLICK	All controls in an invisible rectangle around the selected controls.	First control you select
CTRL+CLICK	Individual controls, one at a time.	Last control you select.
Select Objects pointer in Control Toolbox	All controls that fall within or touch a rectangle you draw.	Control nearest the mouse pointer when you begin drawing the rectangle.

Tips

Occasionally the CTRL+CLICK method may select additional controls that are near to or adjacent to the selected controls. For more accuracy, use the Select Objects pointer method.
If you CTRL+CLICK twice on a selected control, that control becomes the dominant control.
