How do I bring a control ontop of the others at runtime?

How do I make a Control get ontop of the other controlls at runtime?
For example I want a frame I have made to go ontop of a text box when a user push a button.
I have tried the folowing without any luck.

Code:

---

fraMenu.Visible = True
-
fraMenu.Enabled = True

---

Thanks.

Use zOrder to set the position of a control at runtime ie.

FraMenu.zOrder = 0 '0 = top of other controls
FraMenu.zOrder = 1 '1 = bottom of other controls



Hope this helps

Thanks. It realy looked like it could work.. but somehow I get an error while using it.

Code:

---


fraMenu.ZOrder = 0

---

Error message: "Expected function or variable"

anyone know why ?

here is the code that I use the function in

Code:

---

Select Case txtChatSend.Text
    Case "?Connect", "?connect":
        fraConnect.ZOrder = 0
        txtChatSend.Text = ""
        Exit Sub
    Case "?Help", "?help":
        rtfChatDisplay.Text = rtfChatDisplay.Text & "help is on its way..."
        rtfChatDisplay.SelStart = Len(rtfChatDisplay.Text)
        txtChatSend.Text = ""
        Exit Sub
    Case "?Clear", "?clear":
        rtfChatDisplay.Text = ""
        rtfChatDisplay.SelStart = Len(rtfChatDisplay.Text)
        txtChatSend.Text = ""
        Exit Sub
  End Select

---

is there any problem using ZOrder in a case function?

Thanks.

Sorry about that it was a mistake on my part I use the = and you cant on Zorder, try


FraMenu.Zorder 0 'Control ontop
FraMenu.Zorder 1 'Control On Bottom

This should work for you,
Jeremy

I feel a little dumb that I didn't try that myself :)

Anyway Thanks a lot for the help.

When I need make controls appears and desappears I create groups of controls in a picuteBox and when I wish make visible/unvisible I just set the visible property of the PictureBox!
