Using UI designers in SharpDevelop (.NET Open Source IDE) or IntelliJ IDEA, programmers can use special drag and drop handle (handle.jpg) at the top left corner of selected component. (See the attached screenshots) User can easily select component inside compoment tree and move selected component in designer using drag and drop handle. It's cool feature, especially when user wants to select and move underlaying "hidden" containers (Panel) and he is unable to grab it and move it in designer.
