Display order.....

This is probably a simple one to answer, but I can't seem to find it....

When in VS designer, I have some components in a panel, which is docked to
FILL.....

Sometimes when I drop a component on the form, it ends up 'behind' the
panel, and therefore can't be seen, despite it existing....

My question is:
- How can I move this to the front, and therefore make it visible, without
moving the panel, and cutting and pasting it back over the top..

Thanks
Paul

The context menu of a control in the designer has "Bring to Front" and "Send
to Back" menu entries, if you refer to that...

At the top of the properties window (property manager window?) you will see
the name of the currently selected control/component in a combobox. You can
select any control on the form (by name) from that combo. Once you do that,
the control will be selected in the designer and you can do whatever you
want with it.

You don't want to cut and paste things in the designer if they have any
events attached to them via the designer (that is, in the
InitializeComponent method) because it will come back with events detached.
I think sometimes if properties are defined in complicated ways, you lose
those settings, too.
