Scrolling when doing a drag and drop in TableLayoutPanel (VS2005)

Hello,

I am trying to drag and drop a label control from one cell in a tablelayoutpanel to another (VB2005). There is no problem if both cells are visible, but i cannot get the tablelayoutpanel to scroll in any direction (autoscroll is on), when the cell i want to drag to is not currently visible and requires (vertical) scrolling to get to see it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have also noticed that my middle mouse scrollwheel no longer works for my tablelayoutpanel. Weird as it worked when i first started developing the form, but now the TLP is on a panel, it no longer works at all. Is this normal, and how can i get it working again?

Thanks so much,

Jeff

OK, i found the solution to the second part of my question. My TableLayoutPanel was filled with labels, and therefore, it never received the focus. The Scroll Wheel only works on the control with the focus, so i added code to give the tlp the focus whenever the mouse entered. It solved the problem with the scroll wheel, but i still have the issue with drag/drop and not having the tlp scroll vertically as you drag beyond the limits of the visible tlp.

    Private Sub tlp_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tlp.MouseEnter
        tlp.Focus()
    End Sub
