Relocate multiple controls.

[BirdieNamNam]

Hello, dear friends!

I have a form. In the top part of the form there are a number of controls. These top controls can be shown/hidden by the user (in a menu).

Below the optional controls there are many more controls. If the user choses to hide the top control, I want all the other controls to move up so they fill the form anyway.

My question is, is there any shortcut to do this. Can I collect them in some kind of collection, and move them all simultaniosly, or must i write .top= for each and every control?

Best regards, Sebastian.

You can use the Controls collection:

Dim c As Control
For Each c In Controls
c.Top = c.Top - 500
Next c


or you could place all the 'to-be-moved' controls in a frame and move the frame.

Hello John! Thanks for your answer.

The "controls" collection will contain all my controls, right? Or is there a way to create my own collection of controls, and only include the once I want to manipulate?

And for the frame solution, is there any way to not make the frame itself visible? Then that would be a nice solution...

Thanks again, Sebastian.

Set the BorderStyle property of the frame control to 0 (None).
