Are you sure that all 3 Panels are on the form itself, and not one or more on another of the Panels? If not then none of those options will work properly. If they are all on the form then all those options will work properly, if properly implemented. Make sure your Panels are in the correct container first, then if it still doesn't work post your code. I suggest you use the Document Outline window to determine which control is in which container.
