Remove Panel in PowerShell Studio 2019?

Post by Isaac99 »

I have created a form in Powershell Studio 2019 from a Blank Form.
I added textboxes, richtext boxes, datagrids and drop downs, all working fine, looks great.
Finally I drew a panel around the whole lot and added a background image to the panel.
I now want to remove the panel but in doing so it removes EVERY item that I had created previously within its bounds.
I can't see a way of unlinking the panel from every other object in the form. I can't move it off to the side as it drags every item with it.
Other panels I have created in which I have docked datagrids, I just undock the datagrid and I can delete the panel.
With the panel that goes around the whole perimeter of the form I just can't get rid of it.
Any ideas?
thanks

I would suggest to add all controls first, then add the panel last. Right-click on the panel and select "Send To Back".
This way if you delete the panel and all controls stays in the form.

Copy the contents of the panel to the clipboard or drag them off the panel then delete the panel and replace the objects. This is how it is done in PSS, Visual Studio and most other IDE forms designers.
