Panel can not be a child of another panel in Designer

[corwin42]

Hi!

Is there a reason why a panel can not be the child of another panel in the designer?

If I create a control in the designer with a panel selected, the control will be created as a child of the panel. But if I create a panel, the panel will always be the child of the form. I even can't change the parent for the panel in the designer.

If I want to have a panel as a child of another panel I have to use FormLib.ChangeParent.

Is this a bug or a feature? I can't see the reason behind this.

Greetings,
Markus

it is a Microsoft's "bug", not B4ppc's =)

Actually it is a limitation of Basic4ppc. Currently you will need to use FormLib.ChangeParent to do it.
