[RESOLVED] Moving one PictureBox on top of another

[Jerry900]

I load three PictureBoxes (Win1, Win2 and Win3) onto one form.
Win1 is large and the other two are small.
I can then draw on Win1.
I can then use .TOP, .HEIGHT, .BOTTOM and .WIDTH to place Win2 on top of Win1 and print on it.
I can then use .TOP, .HEIGHT, .BOTTOM and .WIDTH to move Win2 back to it's original place and size.
I can then use .TOP, .HEIGHT, .BOTTOM and .WIDTH to place Win3 on top of Win1 and draw and print on it.
Next I would like to place Win2 on top of Win3 and again print on it.
But, when I use .TOP, .HEIGHT, .BOTTOM and .WIDTH to place Win2 on top of Win3 I can't see it.
It is again on top of Win2 and I have to move Win3 before I can see it.

How can I see Win2 without moving Win3?

One quick way might be ZOrder, as in

Win2.ZOrder 0

If that doesn't do the trick, perhaps you could post some code and a screenshot

This sequence seems to confirm my thoughts

Sub Command2_click()
        nnJerry = nnJerry + 1
        Select Case nnJerry
            Case 1
                With Win2
                    .Left = 1000
                    .Top = 1200
                    .Height = 1500
                End With
            Case 2
                With Win2
                    .Left = 3000
                    .Top = 1000
                    .Height = 500
                End With
            Case 3
                With Win3
                    .Left = 1000
                    .Top = 1200
                    .Height = 1500
                End With
            Case 4
                With Win2
                    .Left = 900
                    .Top = 1200
                    .Height = 1000
                End With
            Case 5
                With Win2
                    .ZOrder 0
                End With
        End Select
End Sub

0. Initial


1. Move Win2


2. Move Win2 back


3. Move Win3


4. Move Win2 .. without ZOrder .. can't see it
.. well, can't see most of it .. it appears to be "behind" Win3


5. Set ZOrder on Win2 .. now can see all of it
