Newbie question about moving Panels to back in the visual designer

dotnet compact framework:

I just started using the Designer in Visual Studio and have one
problem. I created a couple panels and added a few controls to each.
Each panel covers the entire screen and is intended to be shown and
hidden as necessary. Actually, the code works fine. But the problem
is that I expect to be able in the designer to move a panel to the
front or back and have all its controls go with it. Instead, the
panel goes to the back but the controls stay in front and make a huge
mess on top of the panel that I want to work on. So, this must be a
brainless newbie mistake because it is clearly necessary to be able to
do this, but it is not clear to me how.

I figured it out. I had to create another panel and move the controls
that I had on the naked form onto the new panel.
