Hi, if the container is made as a separate class, then I add it to my main application, I can't position buttons inside an internal container - it doesn't recognise my new control as an actual container (even though it is a series of canvases and vboxes).

Hi, how does the Panel class work in the designer? i.e. when I drag a button on, the designer knows to place the button inside the white area in the centre of the panel. All coordinates are in relation to that white area. I have a container class which is similar in layout to the panel (but different enough to require a separate class) and I want to be able to add it to another container and then add controls to it. I hope that makes sense. Maybe this ascii drawing will help :-) |-------------------| | | | |----------| | | | | | | |----------| | | | |-------------------| If I drop a button onto this control, I want all coordinates to be in relation to the centre container. If the button is inside the container, it's coordinates will be relative to the container. Thanks, Mark
