Is this possible? - Ecnarf - 10-05-2012
I am trying to make a program that will have a different type of parent container, because I find the way of having it move freely around the entire center of your form to be obnoxious and annoying. My intention is to turn another control into the parent container so that it is smaller and I have more room for controls on the program. So, my question is how would I go about making it so that a different control would function as a parent container? If this is not possible I say that a group of us make a component for this!
