In VB6 I have been using pictureboxes as containers a lot.
For example I put 5 pictureboxes onto a form, and as soon as the user clicked the “Next” button, I brought the next picturebox into the foreground.
This has been extremely convenient.

Now I am fighting with doing something similar in VB.NET.
My attempts were not really successful. A picturebox does not really hold my controls, they seem to jump out now and then, and I can not really make out on which picturebox a control is currently located since the picturebox is not opaque as in VB6.

Can somebody please tell me how to do this in a good way in VB.NET?
