In the Form Designer, if I drop a Container into the Form and then attempt to drop a Control into the Container, the FD puts the Control into the Form, not the Container. (The Control's parent is the Form, not the Container).

I understand that I can pre-create a Container subclass in the Class Designer which contains all of the desired controls, then drop the result into the Form (using either the FD or the Class Designer).

But it sure would be nice if, while creating the Form, I could drop an empty container on it, then start filling it up. Seems like this should be doable, since certain pre-canned containers (grids, for example) allow the arbitrary addition or deletion of member objects at design time using the FD or CD.
