Hi!

(I use:VB.NETV2005Beta2,WindowApplication, SQL-database)

I have made a large Form with a lot of controls on it, (approx. 200!).

NOW, I come to the conclusion that most of them have to move,

from the windows form to (several) Panels.

Problem:

After moving controls to a panel, VB renames all the controls, and place a '_1' after the names of the controls: for instance, MyButton_ClickEvent changes to MyButton_1_ClickEvent.

With this, all of the events are lost. Ofcourse this can be solved with

Contr_C & Control_V, but for 200 controls, this would be 5 hours work!

Question:

Does somebody have a trick to overcome this?

Thanks!

Hi,

On the Form's Designer, do not use Cut and Paste to move your controls to a container, because cut and paste will force the controls to recreate; instead, select the controls you want to move and drag it to their new container, e.g., from your Form drag them to your Panel.

If however, you're trying to move controls froma Form to another Form, Cut and Paste in Code-View (InitializeComponents method call) is a better choice instead of doing it in the designer.
