Frame to overlap anything when expanded

**PDBartlett** · 11-13-2014, 12:09 PM

Hello

I have a frame which can be expanded and collapsed. I have another frame below it. When I expand the top frame, the bottom frame still sits on top of whatever I have within the top frame.

Is there a way around this? Like 'Frame 2 - Send to back'

Thanks

Can't you hide the bottom frame?

Don't know why I didn't think of this before, I'll just move the position of the frame with some code - simple

I was actually thinking of setting the Visible property of the frame to False.

Norie, there will be 15 frames in total which the user will make their way through. I'd like to keep them visible

I thought the problem was that one frame was sitting on top of another meaning the 'top' frame was hiding/obscuring the 'bottom' frame.

That is the problem, currently there are only 2 frames. When I 'open' the first frame, the frame beneath still shows on top of it so you can't see what's in the top frame. So I'll just move the second frame down when the first frame is opened

I'm a little confused, why don't you just position the frames at design time so that they are both visible and not interfering with each other?

At design they are both visible, but they are also both 'closed'. When the form is in play, you can click an expand button which increases the height of the form and therefore shows you more controls within it.
