How does one add a control to a Window in the IDE, where the bounds of the new control are entirely inside an existing control without that new control becoming automatically assigned to be a child of the larger control.
For example, the window has a list box. But, in some cases, the listbox is hidden and a label should appear in it’s place that provides some indication as to why the listbox is missing. When you drag a text field into the same area of the window where the listbox appears, the IDE makes the label a child of the listbox.
How can you prevent this from happening? The only way I’ve figured out how to get around this is to not drag the label, but manually enter numeric values into the label’s Top and Left coordinates until it’s in the right place (which can be tedious and annoying). I’ve tried holding down every modifier key, and even “locking” the listbox, but the IDE just doesn’t seem to have a way to override this automatic control hierarchy thing…
