access thread: How to BringToFront or SendToBack in code


Message #1 by "Brian Paniccia" <briansigma@y...> on Mon, 27 Jan 2003 20:53:51
Has anyone seen or know how to trigger an objects
bring to front or send to back method
or is it even a method at all. I have an Access 2000 form
that I zoom sub tables on for improved usability, and I 
need to be able to Bring the zoomed object to front from VBA

I zoom the object by setting the subforms .top .height properties
using a flip flop flag so the button acts like a toggle.

It works great but one of my subforms goes over another, this is fine 
for one of these subforms but not the other. If I could trigger it to
send one to back when I zoom the other it would work perfectly,
right now the other subform hovers partially within the one I'm zooming.

Hope his makes sense, it should to anyone who has set these properties 
from code before.  

Thanks Brian Paniccia

Why not just use .Visible property to show/hide required subforms, ie. 

My!MySubform1.Visible = True 'Display form 1
My!MySubform2.Visible = False 'Hide form 2

etc...
