vb.net controls: I'm having a strange problem that I never had back in VB6 and can't figure
out how to deal with it.

I have a simple forms app with several navigation buttons on a form that
show and hide an adjacent set of panels. These panels present several pages
of the app's user interface.

I created each panel as a child of the form. No panel is a child of another
panel. But ... if, in the form designer, I position any of the panels so
that its top-left is inside of another panel, and then run the app, the
inside panel is treated as a child of the outside panel. This is not the
behavior I'd expect. It seems you can make one panel a child of another
panel just by dragging it inside. How do I prevent this?

Set the panels' position either by code or in the properties window instead
of dragging them around.
