Design mode at runtime

[Marc L'Ecuyer]

I have a form in my application. This form contains some controls + a panel
with controls in it. I have to be able to move, resize, ... the controls in
the panel (only those in the panel). Is it possible to use the design
functions of the framework to do that? All the sample that I've seen use a
form designer at runtime, but I need only a "panel or container designer".
Does anybody know if it's possible?

Thanks

Marc

The best thing to do is just enable the user to move those controls that you
allow.

If you're interested I sell a control that assists in this process.
