Oh, so we are not talking about a layering problem after all. Good news! Are all
the TabItems on layer 0? are all controls on the tabs also in layer 0? If not
they must all be in the same layer.
If so, then the control you are moving should only get parent from controls in
the currently active TabItem. Before you move the control that isn't getting the
correct parent be sure the TabItem dropdown in the ToolBar is the tab you want
the moving control to go into.
IDE will assign the parent as the inner most control in the current TabItem that
the moving control's upper left corner is in. If the current tabItem is not the
one you want to move into, either left click in the tab title you want or use the
TabItem dropdown to select. Again, as I said before, because some people wanted
to parent in non tradition ways, the assigned parent may not be the one you
actually want but you can always manually change that. All possible parents show
in the dropdown.
If this still doesn't seem correct to you, please either send me a project file
representing the controls in your tabs and indicate which control you are moving
and tell me which control you think should be the parent or a screen shot if that
would be easier.
