Hello All,

I've written a custom control which is basically a panel (with added features). I would like it to behave as a true panel - i.e. be able to contain other controls. Currently, any controls I place "in" the panel actually attach to my test form - they will not move with the custom panel. Is there a way of making a custom control behave as a "true" container?

Many thanks.

Does your custom control derive from Panel? If you derive from Panel, you should have all the functionality of a "true panel", be able to contain other controls, and do whatever else a panel can.

what is your custom control derived from? In your case it may be best to derive it from UserControl which I think should work for your purposes. If not, any Control that is derived from ContainerControl should do it.
