The Layout toolbar provides a simple access point to laying out controls on a Form.

The Layout toolbar enables you to align, resize, change spacing, and center controls on the form.

Aligning controls to the grid

When placing any control on the Form, if you also set SnapToGrid to True, then the controls will snap to the grid. However if you left SnapToGrid set to False, then the controls will be placed wherever you put them. In order to align them to the grid, you can use the first button on the Layout toolbar.
