Issue with a vb.net panel control loop

I have a loop in vb.net where I am wanting to display 50 panels, all with the same 3 controls. Only the last control is populated with the 3 controls, why is this?

    Dim PanelVerticalPoint As Integer = btDF.Height * 6

    For counter = 1 To 50 Step +1

        Dim ButtonPanel As Panel = New Panel


        With ButtonPanel

            ButtonPanel.Location = New Point(0, PanelVerticalPoint)
            ButtonPanel.Size = New Size(btDF.Width, btDF.Height)
            Me.Controls.Add(ButtonPanel)

            ButtonPanel.Controls.Add(btCustomButtonMenu)
            ButtonPanel.Controls.Add(btCustomTextBox)
            ButtonPanel.Controls.Add(btCustomButton)

        End With


        PanelVerticalPoint = PanelVerticalPoint + btDF.Height


    Next counter

It's not easy to clone a control. It looks like your case might be appropriate for a user control instead. Make the user control in the designer with the buttons and text box, then just create many instances of the user control instead of the panel.

Here's a very similar question with that kind of answer Clone Winform control

You have to add a new instance of the buttons to each panel. You are adding the same button instance to the panels so each add is really moving the button.
