[RESOLVED] Embedded panels behaviour

[alynx]

Hi,
In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?
..Thanks

I have used panels within panels in VB.Net but have not experienced what you speak of.

What version of VB.Net are you using?

The internal Panel's Parent has not set up properly.. MAKE SURE you place it firmly in the middle of the panel you want it to be a child of.

If you've placed it with the top left corner matching the position of the panel you want it inside, it may take the form as it's parent and will only move with the form..

Per GremilnUSA, in the designer you can View-Other Windows-Document Outline to see the parent of the object and actually move it if necessary (like under the correct parent)

Ok thanks for that, guess that was the problem as in other cases it appears to work. (I'm using vb2005).
