List box stays on top :( (1 Viewer)

[ray147]

I have a list box on a form, as well as a tab control...I need the tab control to be on top of the list box...I tried doing Format > Send to Back (list box) or Bring to Front (Tab Control)...but to no avail..

List box still stays ontop...any ideas?

Thanks

Hey Ray,

I think I know what's going on. Try clicking on the list box and then CUT it, then go to the tab page that you want the list box on. Click on that page (in the middle of it), so that it gets the focus, then do PASTE. I think that will take care of your problem.

HTH,

Thanks for yr answer Shane...
However this is not what I need...maybe I did not explain myself clearly..

the list box and the tab control are two seperate things...the tab control is not visible all the time (it only opens when the user clicks a button)....however I want that when the user opens the tab control, it would be on top of everything...this is working fine except for one thing..the list box...the list box on the form stays on top of the tab control...

any clue?

Ok, then how about making the lstbox not visible. Just add to your code behind the "button" they click this:

Me.[ListBoxName].Visible = False
