Panel

title	Description

Alters a component's position to a new pair of coordinates, (x,y), a point relative to the upper-left corner of the component's parent. Note that when using relative layout, these coordinates are evaluated as if the component's size was the same size as the last time the component was saved in the Designer. This effectively means that your argument coordinates will automatically scale with relative layout.
