Design time Properties needs "Parent" property.

Post by jvierra »

For example see:
viewtopic.php?t=10599&p=57525#p57525

When a conrol is dropped on a "container" control the container becomes the parent by default. This is not always the desired condition.

We can "re-parent" the control in the "Load" event of the form but the calculations for position will still be relative to the container.

A "Parent" property would allow this to be changed in the designer.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jvierra.

I've passed this along to the team as usual and when we have some more information we'll post it here.
