AllowDrop on WinForms.GroupBox

[Water Cooler v2]

May be I've just been awake a bit too long but I can't seem to find
the AllowDrop property on a System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox object in
the design mode.

I've set it in the code window but I am just a bit confused why it
isn't there in the design mode.

Well, you aren't imaging it... it looks like it overrides the property
specifically to do just this:

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced), Browsable(false)]
public override bool AllowDrop {
get {return base.AllowDrop;}
set {base.AllowDrop = value;}
}

Perhaps it just isn't considered a common drop-target... although to
my mind it is at least framed, making it a more "obvious" target than,
say, a Panel (which behaves normally).

I'd be interested to hear if you get any issues with dropping onto
GroupBox?

imaging => imagining ;-p

btw, I've checked on the symbol server, and there is no stated reason
for this. So please do share any experiences (good or bad).
