Is there something I'm missing here? I have a base form that i designed that has atoolbars and some panels. Some of the panels are private, some are protected, the toolbar is private. The toolbar is docked top and so are all but one of the panels. That panel is docked fill. In the forms designer, when I inherit from this form, the order of my panels constantly changes so i have to right click and bringtofront them all in the order i want them to stack. This happens every time i build. I wrote code in my constructor to do the calls for me in the base class but its overridden by the way the controls are added in the derived class. I wrote code in the contructor of the derived class too that works when the form runs but it still looks wrong at design time. Is there any easier way to handle this?

Thanks,
