| | How to delete TabControl without deleting everything in it? I created a TabControl and then added other controls in it. Now I feel that I don't need the TabControl and I want to remove it. However, it seems that if I delete the TabControl, everything in the TabControl will be gone as well. Any advice on how to separate the TabControl with other controls in it? |

I tend to put them on a panel then if I change my mind and want a tab control again (or a group box etc.) I can just pull the whole panel on to the tab page. -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation |

BTW, it was not easy to select everything and move everything a little away but not too far away so that they do not leave the form ( in which case some auto-generated events for the controls may be gone). |

It lets you move controls to exactly where you want, whether or not the source and destination are both visible. |
