Hi Pete,

>Hi All, I've created a usercontrol comprising of ; a groupbox and several checkboxes. What I would like to have, is, the capability to resize and position the checkboxes when I drop the control on a form ( depending on the form I use the control on.) Is this possible ? I've managed to resize the groupbox by anchoring the appropriate sides to the container but none of the contained controls are "selectable" at design time - is this by design ? any help much appreciated

I don't think you could visually edit the placement or any other property of the contained controls. You can however expose properties that could be set such as position through your container control. Wouldn't be as easy, but should be able to do it. If you had a property like say SetCheckBoxAlphaPosition on your user control and it in turn set the position of the checkbox. The problem with this approach is the visual aspect. You would not see it at design time. Terrible huh?
