Changing a control's parent at design time

Say I built a control onto a panel, changed lots of properties, and
wrote code for it.

Then I decide I want the control to actually be in a control bar, or on
the form (i.e. I need to change its parent). How can this be done?
(without having to delete the control and create a new one, of course).

Thanks for any help.

Just change what the Parent property refers to:

Button1.Parent := self;

Button1.Parent := Panel1;

Select the controls, CtrlX, select the new parent, CtrlV.
