Active X

[wbehning]

Has anyone expierenced the problem with an Active X control, e.g. DTPicker, not respecting the Zorder property?

I have a DTPicker control, inside a container control, which is used to modify a SQL statement that populates a cursor for a grid. Once the grid's datasource is populated, I resize the grid control so that it covers the SQL modifier controls. But no matter what I do, short of setting the visible property of the DTPicker to false, the DTPicker control is always on top of the Zorder of the form.

Any Ideas?

Zorder is well known not to work properly with anything but VFP controls. You activex control is an actual window (in the Windows sense) and VFP controls and forms are just bitmap representations. So the zorder will not function properly. You may have to consider another route.

wbehning,

I have seen exactly the same problem with the Listview control. It's as Mike Gagnon says: ActiveX controls simply don't know about VFP's Zorder.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll have to set the visible property in this case.
