How to move all controls (quickly) from one TabSheet to another

Hi, I have a form with 2 TPageControls on it. The 1st one has 3 TabSheets, and on the 2nd of these Tabsheets, I have placed another TPageControl that contains 2 additional TabSheets. I need to move all controls (and keep them intact) that were on the 1st PageControl and 1st TabSheet, to the 2nd PageControl/1st TabSheet. Is the only way to cut and paste each individual control, or is there a slicker way to do it quickly?

Thanks!
Shawn

Or you may use a view-based UI approach. Normally each page of a Tab is a unit. So create a view for each page, then you only need to change the assignement of the view to the tab. A view in this context can be a frame or a form.

In Structure view (where object are shown as parent/child in treeview) find your tabsheet and select all child components holding shift. Then in popup menu select Edit/Cut - find destination tabsheet in Structure view and do paste.

Thanks all. Sinisa, after I selected all my components and chose Edit/Cut, there was no "paste" option in my destination TabSheet under the "Edit" popup menu.

Strange, try to select in design view same tabsheet and use edit/paste there.
