The Tabbed panel widget might be a more flexible alternative to the panel widget.

Adding a panel widget

To add a panel widget switch to design mode, place it on the form, re-size it as appropriate, and then add other non-container widgets to the panel. The area used for the content can be larger than the size of the widget, in which case scroll bars will appear, but generally it is better to avoid this as it makes using the forms more difficult.

Move a panel widget

To move a tab panel widget switch to design mode and drag the border of the widget. This only works for the border region as the internal region of the widget handles events for the widgets the panel contains.
