I didn't intend anyone to be moving the Design and Property windows away
from the Controls yet. I don't know how to make it 'stick' unless I change
the style to one that doesn't have the TitleBar.

If you mean on the emulated controls drawn on the Design window, this is on
my list.

Well, I use that to move a tab control and all its tab items and their
controls. But if you can suggest another key combintion I'll add it to the
