Hi,
How do I select controls on the panel or on the tabcontrol in Design view if they are outside of panel view, but I know that they are there? Like, if I do CTRL A, it would select all controls on the form. What about all controls on the panel? Thanks.
 
I tried to resize the panel, but it seems that those controls are anchored to the corner, so I cannot reach them.
 
You should be able to get to them via the drop down list of properties, to at least turn off anchoring, so that when you drag the panel you can get to them.

I cant imagine what you're trying to do with them except delete them, and if you're still struggling, you can get at them through the windows generated code.

...if it works dont f*** with it
...if its f****ed blame someone else
...if its your fault that its f***ed, say and admit nothing.
 
Yes!! I got to them thru the list of properties, then I changed location property to 0,0 so I could see them.
Thanks, SqueakinSweep.
