SUMMARY
To place a control correctly within a container control, use one of the
these methods:
- Select an existing control, and from the Edit menu, choose either Cut
or Copy. Then select the container control, and from the Edit menu,
choose Paste.
- Find the icon for the control in the Toolbox. Click it, and then drag a
rectangle inside the border of the container. More specifically, click
a Toolbox icon, and then release the mouse button. Move the mouse cursor
inside the border of the container control. The mouse cursor changes to
cross hairs. Now click the mouse button and hold it down. Move the mouse
to the bottom right. Then release the mouse button.
You cannot place a control inside a container control by double-clicking
an icon in the Toolbox or by dragging a control onto a container control.
These actions place the control on the form in front of the container
rather than inside the container control.
MORE INFORMATION
Container controls supplied with the standard edition are the frame and
picture box. The container controls supplied with the professional
edition are the 3-D frame, 3-D panel, and the gauge. These controls can
also be placed inside container controls.
When you place a control inside a container control, such as a frame,
the containerized control:
- appears completely within the border of the container control and in
front of the background of the container control
- maintains its position relative to the container control
