Need RTB on TOP of frame

[vbcandies]

I have an RTB (rich text box), rtbMyMessage pasted into a frame frmAllData...all is fine...except when I change the frame size in software (using .top & .height to increase the frame size on both the frame & RTB), the RTB disappears...it looks as though it is hiding behind the frame...how can I bring it to the front??

Then you didn't copy & paste the RTB onto the frame, but still, on the form.

Right click the RTB
Select Cut
Select the Frame - make sure you see the selection handles on the frame
Right click on the Frame
Select paste

NO THE RTB IS PASTED INTO THE FRAME as I mentioned above...I did go back & double check---if you drag the frame, the RTB comes along for the ride.


When enlarging them both under software (height & top), the RTB seems to be covered over by the frame (and the rtb no longer responds to its click event).

Any way to force (know) the RTB is on topo rather than behind the frame?

Cannot reproduce the behavior here on windows vista home premium sp1 with vs6.0sp6b...



Good Luck

I got it...after I pasted the RTB into a frame I forgot to revise my coordinate system (such as top) so that they referenced the frame instead of the form. Moving down 7000 on a large form is one thing, moving down 7000 in a small frame makes things "go away"
