I'm using visual studio 2012 and i'm finding it extremely difficult(and irritating) to handle multiple panels. I have almost 20 panels stacked on top of each other. I had to make changes to a lower panel so I removed the panels from the top and updated it. Now the lower panel buttons and group boxes keep sticking on all other upper panel buttons and keep covering them. So basically i can't see half portion of upper panels as the lower panel's controls keep covering 'em up. I don't know what caused this. Please help me out.

Answer 1

Without seeing what your problem looks like it is hard to answer, but since you have multiple panels you probably accidently changed the Parent of some of your controls or panels.

I find that working with layered controls can be a pain, you need to get used to using the BringToFront and SendToBack Editor Commands.

To answer your question you can try looking at your InitializeComponent Method to see if you can determine exactly what happened.
