    groupbox

    I have two panels of identical sie. I would like to postion them on
    the same part of the form and have one become visible and the other
    invisible depending on other actions that occur on the form. The
    problem is that when I position one over the other one becomes
    "contained" with in the other. s there a way to prvent this from
    occuring?

      Yes...

      Instead of dragging the one panel above the other...
      go to the properties of the first panel...look at the "Location" property,

      and then click on the second tab, and click on the properties and change the
      Location thru the properties.

      Then to access any of the two panels, right click on the panel and just
      click on "Send to back"...

          I had tried that. However, just to torture myself (and whoever helps)
          the first group panel sit in an tabcontrol..If I do what you say the
          second control sit "in the air" so to speack so when I change tabpages
          it is always visible. The only way around it was to right additional
          code to make it disappear when I change tab pages. It is nt elegant
          and make it difficult to work on the UI. on group panel block
          everything

              I dont fully understand.

              If you have a Tab Page...
              and have 2 tabs... Tab A and Tab B

              and on Tab A you have two panels, and have made the "Location" property the
              same. They are both a Child of Tab A, so will disapear automatically when
              you switch to Tab B.

              I think your issue is that you have 1 Panel created within Tab A and one
              Outside of it?
              If this is the case, you have to create both Panels inside and then do the
              Location Thing.

              Can you do a quick screenshot / jpg of the tab page and panel in question ?

              M.

                  One ends up being a child of TabA the other ends up being a child of
                  the main form. If I try to put in on tab A it becomes a child of the
                  panel which is a child of tab A

                  Correct but I cnnot seem to control how to creat bot within Tab A it
                  keeps getting "sucked in"
