Hi Sander,

only the UserControl object can be the container of user-added
controls. If you drag and drop a control on your bordless
picture box, the container will always be the usercontrol itself.
I remember having seen scrollable viewports in the
internet, but I do not know if they were third party components
or code examples. 
The good news is that in your usercontrol you can access the added
controls through the ContainedControls property

Subject: [pro_vb] Help needed with usercontrols


Dear friends.
I'm having trouble with a usercontrol i'm working on.

It contains a picturebox that I use to be the border of the control. In 
that box I placed an other picturebox (borderless) and a vertical scrolbar.

What should it do ?
Well, the height on the borderless picture box is a lot heiger that the 
picturebox that is used as a border. With the scrollbar I can scroll the 
borderless picturebox up and down. "a propertie sheet that saves spaces"
I place other objects such as labels and textboxs on the borderless 
picturebox the they move with it.

Problem: When i place the label, textboxes, listboxes and so on on it and 
run it, they won't move with it. However when i don't use the usercontrol 
but just create it on a form it works fine.

Why isn't the usercontrol 'sticky' ? I did set the ControlContainer 
prperty to True..

Plz help
Regards
Sander
