Hi,

I have a dragable label on one of my forms. However, when I drag it over a listbox it always disappears behind it. It makes no difference if I send the listbox to the back or bring the label to the front in design view.

Is there a way to get the label in front of the listbox through vba code?

(I'm using access 2010)

kind regards,
jesse
 
Why do you need this? You can make the listbox not visible if you want to hide it. I sometime use a rectangle with the BackStyle set to Normal to cover things.

Otherwise use a textbox control instead of the label. Set the BorderStyle to transparent, Locked to Yes and Enabled to No and it will behave exactly like a label.
 
I've tried to use a textbox instead of a label but it makes no difference. The textbox also disappears behind the listbox.

I also don't want to hide the listbox. I just want to be able to drag the label around the form without it disappearing behind other things.

So I want the label to be in front always. It seems like a simple thing but I don't know how to do it.
 
This is only an issue in design view since you are dragging it around.

You can bring controls to the front in code by:
Me!controlname.SetFocus
 
No, that doesn't work. I tried using a textox and .SetFocus but it still disappears behind a listbox when I drag it around the form.
