Hi Bill,

A controladded on a formalways tries tooccupy the remaining available space. In your scenario, the grid is the first control added on the form. If you set its Dock property to "Fill", it will occupy the entire client area of the form. So the behavior you see is by design.

To get what you want, you just need to adjust the order in which the grid and the Panel are added on the form. To do this, select menu View | Other Windows | Document Outline. In the Document Outline window, select the grid and click the Up arrow on the head of the window or select the Panel and click the Down arrow.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
