Drop the container onto the form, set the container size to fit your form surface and let the container figure out how to juggle it's contents around when it first constructs at runtime. It doesn't really matter at design time that your listboxes and buttons don't "look right".

Hi David,

I set anchors properties of my controls to the appropriate values and I tried in the container's Init
this.width = this.width
this.height = this.height

store 45 to this.lstSource.Anchor , etc.

however, when I place the control on the form and resize it in design-time, in the run-time the controls don't take up the space of the container properly.

Do I have to play with actual positions instead ?
