Programmatically set position of report items

Hi All. I have a report with various items (lines, textboxes) that may or may not be visible, depending upon the values of other report items.

In one list, there is a horizontal line of textboxes and lines. If a line in the middle of it all is set to hidden=true, then all the controls to the right of it are shifted to the left. If it is set to hidden=false then they are shifted back to the right.

Is there a way to fix the position of controls (something like ReportItems!txtTextbox.left=0.444 etc.)? According to BOL, the only property in the ReportItems collection is Value.

Any help is appreciated. D. LewisTry grouping items inside of a container. A rectangle with no visible border can be very useful to keep other items from shifting on the page.
