Carousel Design-time Issues

[dfields]

How do you work with the panels of a carousel at design-time? I have set the SingleItem property to True to achieve the affect I wanted, but I cannot get to the second and third panels in design mode.

The CurrentPanelIndex property is grayed out in the Object Inspector.

I do not have a "Select" option in the context menu. My only choice is to "Add Panel". IW12 on D2010

Hi

Sorry i thought it was there as well like for other components, you will have to use IDE Structure Panel.

What should I do in the structure panel? The Context menu has Add Panel there, but nothing else;

Is that going to be changed? It makes it very difficult to manipulate controls on individual panels. I want to use the panels with SingleItem=true, and the panels are 900 pixels wide. Because of that using the structure panel is cumbersome. It would be easier if I could just change the ActivePanel

Hello

Know i know what you mean, SingleItem=True, i just eat a big frog with this one

This will be very very diffcult to handle....

If you find a good workaround, in design-time please let us know

I have tried everything I can think of, but nothing works. The design-time behavior is very inconsistent. Once you set SingleItem-true in the object inspector you cannot directly access the other panels.

It would be nice if it worked like a TabControl without the actual tabs. The way it is now can only be used if the panels are small, or if you do everything programmatically like your demos. Is there any hope of this changing? It would be a very powerful tool for use in wizards or any process involving multiple steps.
