    Labels wont stay on top of any windowed control, because they are "lightweight" (windowless) controls. If you want a label displayed "over" a frame, then you will have to put it inside the frame.

    To do this, select the label, cut it (Ctrl+X), select the frame, then paste (Ctrl+V). This will insert the label inside the frame.

    Does that help?

    Winless

    You can use the Winless library (has windowless frame, textbox Command button, listbox.....and so forth)

    I don't use them often, except for dynamically loading controls
    (can't set a standard textbox to multiline if dynamic, but I digress)

    On your VB6 CD

    Common\Tools\VB\Winless

    Copy to your harddrive
    Register with Regsvr32
    Double click the Mswless.reg file

    And your good to go. A label will float on top of a winless frame
    (I checked before I posted )

    SPECIAL NOTE: (before you scream at me) The windowless option
    buttons have a GROUP property on their property pages. You'll
    need to assign a group name to the option buttons for them to
    behave like a normal grouping of radio buttons in a windowless
    frame.
