Have had a look to the video. You have changed the name of the subform, where the button is placed in, to "MainForm". The name of a form has nothing to do with the position of main or sub. So you created a main, called "MainForm" and also a sub, called "MainForm". Seems you expect you could change the position of a control from one form to another form by renaming the form. This won't ever work. The only possibility to move the control to another form is to use the navigator. If you wish an enhancement for this: There should be a listbox inside the control-properties. With this listbox and all main, sub, subsub and so on it should be possible to switch the control from one form to another. But why should anybody create such a functionality, if it works with the navigator? I will set this one to Resolved and Notabug. Feel free to reopen and argument for such an enhancement.
