    Need Help With Frames [RESOLVED]

    This is the first time I've ever added a Frame to a form. I have created the Frame and set it up the way I want. I now need to add a few Labels and TextBoxes to the Frame. When I do so, the get put behind the frame. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jeremy

    Instead of dragging the control on the form to create it, do it inside the frame.
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    To actually draw a control on any container (Frames, Pictureboxes, etc) you have to first select Container (just click on it) and then draw a control, other wise your desired object will always be created on the form directly.

    What if I've already created, named, setup properties and aligned the controls that I'm trying to drag onto the Frame? Sure, it was only 30 minutes of work but I sure would hate to have to redraw them, align them, and all that jazz. Any ideas? Thanks, Jeremy

    Cut the controls you want to put into the frame, select the frame, then paste the controls into the frame.

    For example,
    1. Select the controls you want to add to the frame
    2. Press 'Ctrl-x'
    3. Select the frame
    4. Press 'Ctrl-v'
