I've built my first usercontrol for use in a GPS Mapping forms app.

pic1 shows "panel1" containing some picturebox "tools" with a map(another panel containing a picturebox) underneath.

pic2 shows that I dragged the map and the "tool" have not moved with the drag.

"panel1" also contains my usercontrol( this will show a transparent map scale). My usercontrol and all the "tools" definately have the same parent - ie "panel1".

If I resize the form to cause a re-paint of all the controls I getpic3 - the red T bar (my usercontrol) will be the map scale.

Everything looks OK until I drag the map - the user control goes with the drag.pic4 shows that the usercontrol image has been erased as it passed under the "tools".

I don't understand why the "tools" stay put and on top of the map and the usercontrol does not - even though they all have the same parent.

Guys - I'm sorry if I have not explained the problem very well or I've illustrasted it in an inappropriate manner. In this case I didn't think a clutter of code would help much.

Hi Bullstreetboy,

It seems that the UserControl isactually addedto the panel that contains the map. Go to the from's code file and navigate to the InitializeComponent method. Check whether the UserControl is added to the Controls collection of that panel. If it is, delete the line of code andthen add the UserControl to the Controls collection of panel1.

Please try my suggestion to see if it works.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
