Missing VB6's shift-click adding of toolbox items in Visual Studio 2010

In VB6 selecting a tool to add to a form then holding down shift while you clicked the locations you wanted would add multiple copies of that item instead of requiring you to re-select the tool you wanted to add each time. I miss nothing else about VB6 except that.

Is there a way to make Visual Studio behave like that? When you're add开发者_StackOverflowing a string of radio buttons, or a collection of check boxes, it's a pain to have to reselect the tool itself repeatedly.

Keep toolbox selection in Visual Studio 2010 asks a similar question, but I don't care if it's inherent in Visual Studio, or an add-on. I'd even consider paying for such an add-on. Copy and paste works, but is a pain and doesn't let you place it.

Well, you can add one, then hold Ctrl down while selecting and dragging it to 'clone' it.

Just be aware that it will also copy the event handler bindings.

Holding down <Ctrl> when you draw the object causes the control entry to stay selected for the next one. The last one drawn without <Ctrl> unselects the entry.
