    Text box inside Picture box

    Hi folks,

    When I drag an existing Text box into a Picture box it disappears (it's actually behind the Picture box).

    How do I make it visible and actually inside the Picture box?

    I can place a new Text box in the Picture box - no problem. But it would save a LOT of time if I could just drag and drop existing Text boxes.

    Many thanks for any ideas.

    Cheers!

    Welcome to VBForums

    Unfortunately you can't "move" it into the picturebox (or frame, etc), but what you can do is Cut it from where it is, then select the new parent object (picturebox etc) and Paste it.

    Right click on the TextBox. Select Cut. Place Mouse over the PictureBox. Right click. Select Paste.

    Just incase of confusion, must actually Click(select) the picturebox then paste?
