Hi
I'm with the trial version of Telerik for Winforms and I'd like to design the following layout:
I want to have a simple combobox at the left of the screen with some predefined options. At the right of the screen, I'll have a group of controls composed by a label, a textbox and a button. I want to have multiple groups but only one will be available to the user when he choose an option from the combobox.
I'm trying to use the LayoutControl, but I have a problem: I'm not able to have 2 or more controls under the same container (my idea is to make visible/not visible the containers to show the correct one). I tried to put a panel on the layout and, later, to create the controls inside it... but the controls are assigned automatically to a new layout item instead the panel I created.
How can I do this?
Thank's in advance

Yes, this is a known limitation of the layout control. In this case, you need to add the panels to the form, add the controls to them and then add the panels to the layout control. This is logged for improvement in our Feedback Portal. You can track its progress, subscribe to status changes and add your comment to it here.
Please note that the layout control is not designed for such scenarios. It is designed so the controls in it are resized proportionally with the form. In your case, you can design this by using UserControls (or panels) and just show/hide them. I have attached a small example that shows this approach.
I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
