question about control order

[djcybex]

I have put 4 labels in one column and I want them to be sorted in a specific way:
*if one of them is temporaly invisible (labelX.visible=false) it makes all other, visible labels below, move one place forward to the top and keeps the same column order.


LABELS:
Label1
Label2
Label3
Label4


IF LABEL2.VISIBLE = FALSE: labels should be sorted like this
Label1
Label3
Label4

So I have written this code:

For Each tabPageCtrl In Me.TabControl1.Controls
For Each ctrl In tabPageCtrl.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is Label Then
If ctrl.Visible = True Then
ctrl.Top = visina
visina = visina + ctrl.Height
End If
End If
Next
Next

The problem is that VB compile label with the lowest identification number (in my case: label1) at the end and all other labels before.

So the VB compiling goes like this:

Label2
Label3
Label4
Label1 'at the end'

and that makes my sort program disfunctional.

Thank you for help

have you tried the bringtofront and sendtoback functions? (I thinks that's what they're called )

anyway thank you for your help
