Another (perhaps easier) solution is to move the control under the desired parent in the Object TreeView. Simply drag the WhateverBtn to PanelX (for example). You don't have to move anything in the form; Delphi will adjust Top and Left to reflect the new position relative to the new parent object. And the object will take its proper alphabetical place under the new parent.
