Hi,
Sorry for misunderstandin g you.
For this issue, I think it is by the design of the form designer, the
control overlapped on another, this depands on the z-order.(Normally , it
depands on the order in the code it being added into the controls
collection).
If you have many panel one on another, I think you can select different
control from the property's dropdownlist to select you wanted control, use
right click menu to set it to front.
Also, you can go to the code editor, to change its z-order(by changing the
order it being added int the controls collection)

| Yep, you misunderstood big time... but thats ok... I'll try to explain...
|
| I have control overload on my form... I have many panels holding form
| controls which are shown or hidden depending on what it selected in the
| treeview on the left... I find it hard to navigate to a particular form
| control on a particular panel (or whatever container I have used)... it
| would be handy to be able to place them on a seperate area of the designer
| so they can all be viewed at once, but still appear in the correct place
| when the app is run...
|
| Currently to navigate to a panel buried under others I have to use the
| dropdown list above the Properties window in the .Net IDE... or click on
the
| topmost one and select send to back... when you have too many controls on
| the designer you can't manage them effectively....
|
| Does that explain the problem I have?
|
| Cheers
