Arrange controls programatically

[vietnam97]

I have about a dozen of checkboxes in a frame, and depend on the choice selected only some of the checkboxes will be visible to the users? This would create some spaces between them and the screen wouldn't present nicely.

So, is there a method to line them up automatically without having to program for the new position on each of the visible checkbox?

Thanks,
Bao

you could do something like

dim ypos as integer
dim c as control
ypos = 10 'arbitary number

for each c in me.controls
'maybe check here for checkbox type

if c.visible then
c.top = ypos
ypos = ypos + 30 'arbitrary number
end if
next

Jeff, thanks for your help. Although it doesn't work out exactly, because I have 2 columns of checkboxes, so I want to make sure the rows are lining up correctly. But I think I got your idea.

Thanks,
