Problem with a Panel

[cameronlanni]

I'm having trouble with my panels. I taught myself VB (and the other languages I know) so I don't know all the terminology, so bear with me. But I'm making an application, and in this application I have a set of radio buttons, and because I only wanted one to be checked at a time, I put them in a panel. The problem is, I want to add more stuff to the application (form?) and anytime I add something that is in the area of a Panel, it becomes part of that Panel. This is all fine and good when you are trying to drag and drop something right into the panel, it makes it really easy. But when I'm trying to drag and drop something else in that area where the panel just happens to be, I don't want it to be in that panel. So how can I make it so the panel stops parenting my other items on the page? I hope that makes since.

Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with this, and if you need more information or anything, just let me know and I'll see if I can answer or describe something any better.

Thanks again,
Cameron

You can just try positioning the control using CTRL + the mouse keys.

What? I don't understand? What's the control? Secondly, I don't want to move anything. Everything is in the place it needs to be in. There has to be a way to essentially disable the Panel so it doesn't parent anything further, but also so it doesn't disable it all together so it can't be used or viewed, etc.

Thanks,

Instead of drag and dropping another control in the place of the panel you could instead drop it outside the panel then move it by selecting it then pressing CTRL + the mouse keys. That is if I understood your requirement.

Oh, now I see what you're saying. And yes, that seems to work. It will be annoying to have to continuously do this, so if anyone else knows of a real solution, please let me know. If not, I can make do with this. So thank you!

There is no other method that I am aware of so let's wait if anything comes up from other members.
