This is a relatively complex control in regards to the designer.  It would be an entirely different code base if we were to use DevExpress panels instead.  To improve performance, set the RenderAsSolidBackground property to true on each page you add then drop on a DevExpress page....OR....use the Application Theme Editor to create an SF theme that matches the DevExpress theme that you are using.  THEN you can use the native SF control and it would match the DevExpress theme you have selected.  If it were me, I would take the second option as it would reduce the number of controls and it is very easy to create an SF theme.</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Nov 2009 07:40:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Trent L.

&lt;br&gt;
I don't think there is anything special to do. Just drop a panel onto a SF form and it will work ok.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
