Control Postion

[VJ]

I have a form with a Panel. The Panel will have scroll bars. There is one
control in the form who's Y is fixed, but I want the X to be always to the
left edge of the screen. How do I do that?

Ok my bad.. I was not clear on that need. I want the control to display
within the left edge of the screen.

Ok, the obvious answer:

Control->Left = 0 ; // or like 10 for spacing...

Since a control's Left (which is its X) position is relative to it's
parent's left edge. And I'm unclear as to what the Panel has to do with
anything here?

oops really my bad again.. the control is in the panel and its Y is fixed.
I want it to appear within the right edge of the panel always i.e even as
the user scrolls, the X should dynamically change

For a moment I was like how did I miss that..

I have to run, but a quick pointing in hopefully the right direction:

You want to add a handler for the Scroll event of the Panel class that finds
out how much the panel has been scrolled vertically and/or horizontally and
position your control relative to the upper left hand corner of the panel
based on the amount that has been scrolled...
