How to: Group Controls with the Windows Forms Panel Control Using the Designer
Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel controls are used to group other controls. There are three reasons to group controls. One is visual grouping of related form elements for a clear user interface; another is programmatic grouping, of radio buttons for example; the last is for moving the controls as a unit at design time.
To create a group of controls
-
Drag a xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control from the Windows Forms tab of the Toolbox onto a form.
-
Add other controls to the panel, drawing each inside the panel.
If you have existing controls that you want to enclose in a panel, you can select all the controls, cut them to the Clipboard, select the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Panel control, and then paste them into the panel. You can also drag them into the panel.
-
(Optional) If you want to add a border to a panel, set its xref:System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle property. There are three choices: xref:System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D, xref:System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle, and xref:System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None.
