I have a custom Panel with another Panel in it. I would like to drop controls into that second Panel in design mode. I tried fixing up MSDN's example from here (using ControlDesigner) and set up the GetHitTest method to get when the cursor is over the child control.

But what now? How can I actually do anything with the child Panel?

What do you mean by "do anything with the child Panel"? What sort of things do you want to do? – Ann L. Jan 09 '14 at 13:33
@AnnL. Drop a Control on it. (as mentioned in the question.) Resize it. etc. – ispiro Jan 09 '14 at 13:34
What happens when you try to drop a control on it - is the control added to the parent Panel instead? – Ann L. Jan 09 '14 at 13:37
@AnnL. Even worse. It lands on the Form itself. – ispiro Jan 09 '14 at 13:40
@HansPassant Thank you very much. That looks like exactly what I was looking for. Checking it out now. – ispiro Jan 09 '14 at 15:14
