Hello,
I have a form with quite a few controls. I may want to hide these controls based on the security level of the user.
Rather than set the visible property of each control to False, I would like to cover the controls with a rectangle
or some graphic so the controls won't be seen. Is this possible? I have drawn a large rectangle over the area
where the controls sit. In the rectangle's properties box I chose "Bring to Front". In Design Mode I don't see the controls
because they are covered by the rectangle. But in Form View the controls come to the front, and I can see the
rectangle's border.
It may not be "good practice" to hide controls this way. I simply want to know if they can be covered up or hidden
in some way other than setting the visible property to False.
Thank you.
