Bringing a control to the front 2

[beedubau]

I have a complex hand coded form on which a 20mm textbox sits just above a grid.

When the contents of the textbox are larger than the visible control area I enlarge the control via a button.

How do I make this enlarge on top of the underlying grid ie 'bring to front'?

regards

Bryan

Hi Bryan.

Marcia,

I jumped too soon - put it in the command button code - but it still opens behind the grid

PROCEDURE  cmdExtras.CLICK()
	
thisform.listExtras.zorder = 0
	

IF thisform.listExtras.HEIGHT = 142

	thisform.listExtras.HEIGHT = 42

ELSE

	thisform.listExtras.HEIGHT = 142
		

ENDIF

Can you help further.

Thanks

Bryan

Bryan,
have you tried to bring it to the front? DoubleClick on your textBox, see that it is selected, Now in the menu: Format->Bring to Front

Hi Jockey2

As I said in my original post this is a 'complex hand coded form'

I'm trying to do what you mentioned in code. I don't see the form until runtime.

Zorder is a method, not a property. The syntax would be obj.Zorder(0).

This isn't a 3rd party activex control grid, is it?
