    Not entirely sure what you're trying to do but to get one Control appearing in front of another, use the ZOrder method in code ...

    Code:
    call txtInFront.ZOrder( 0 )
    .. or use the "Bring To Front" menu item in the Form designer.

    There are limits to which controls can be "moved" in this way but a TextBox and a ListBox should be OK.

    Regards, Phill W.

    You could also simply put the text you want displayed in the list using the additem method
    You could hide the list box and show a label or text box or image or whatever you like
    All depends on what you want it to look like

    You can also use a frame, placing the desired Label etc INTO the frame.
    Remove the caption, and other tweaks so that the frame is not obvious.
