    Hi,

    I am trying to write a designer for control derived from
    System.Windows.Forms.Panel.
    I hooked up a handler for IComponentChangeService.ComponentAdded event
        OnComponentAdded ( object sender, ComponentEventArgs e )
    where I try to add contols (e.g., Button), dragged from toolbox onto
    myControl, to Contols collection of myContol

        myPanel designedControl = (myPanel) this.Control;
        Control addedContol = (System.Windows.Forms.Control) e.Component;
        designedControl.Controls.Add( addedContol );

    And if I later check the Controls collection, newly added Button appears
    there, but that does not affect button's behavior. When I drag away myPanel,
    button remains where it was dropped.

    (When I checked the Bounds property of the button, top left corner was at
    0,0 , what I found a bit strange since the button was not at this location
    on the form or myControl.)

    Can someone please point out to me what I'm doing wrong (or not doing
    properly).
    Thanks in advance.
