appdesigner insert container hierarchically above already placed containers

Hi.

Let us imagine having created an app with axes, labels, sliders, buttons, etc. All of these objects are aligned with a Grid Layout container. See Fig1. Now, let us say we want to create a second tab, where we can use more GUI objects to place. For this I choose the Tab Group container. However, appdesigner does not allow to create the Tab Group container hierarchically above the Grid Layout container (See Fig2). I only can pick and place the Tab Group container into the grid layout itself (Fig3).

Is there a way to create container objects hierarchically above already placed containers?

Fig1. How an example GUI might look like.

Fig2. When I drag the Tab Group container into the Component browser.

Fig3. Tab Group container can only be inserted into grid layout.

Well, I managed to do it. Actually it is quite easy. Create a Tab Group outside the current GUI.

Drag and drop the current GUI into the Tab Group

Drag and drop the Tab Group into the main GUI and resize.
