navigating between group boxes not working

sweety · July 9th, 2009, 06:56 AM

Hello..
I have created two GroupBoxes...

GroupBox1 having a Button1....

then GroupBox2 having Button2...

i have placed(Position) GroupBox2 exactly on GroupBox1....(when these are placed seperately; at totally different locations it works fine..)

i want to navigate among these GroupBoxes when i click on respective Button...

say i have clicked on Button2 of GroupBox2 then it should get invisible and GroupBox1 should be displayed...and vice versa ...

when i run it initially GroupBox2 is displayed and clicking on Button2 it gets invisible and GroupBox1 gets displayed...No problem till here...but after this when i click Button1 GroupBox2 doesnt display and even GroupBox1 gets invisible....what am i doing wrong....

Code:

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        GroupBox2.Visible = True
        GroupBox1.Visible = False
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        GroupBox1.Visible = True
        GroupBox2.Visible = False
    End Sub
End Class

Any help will be helpful to me...

Thanks & Regards
Sweety

Works fine for me?

I placed GroupBox2 directly over GroupBox1 and it still worked?

I set the default visibility of GroupBox2 to false so that it's not visible when the form loads. GroupBox1 is the only visible Group Box when the form loads, I press Button1 inside GroupBox1 and then GroupBox1 becomes invisible and GroupBox2 becomes visible. I then press Button2 in GroupBox2 and GroupBox2 becomes invisible and GroupBox1 becomes visible again. I then I went through the whole process again. I'm not sure why it's not working for you as I used your code...

do you have anymore info as to what you are doing?

I just realized what is happening. You are "thinking" that you are putting GroupBox2 over GroupBox1 but you are actually putting it IN GroupBox1. So when you press Button1 it hides GroupBox1 with GroupBox2 inside it. Just move GroupBox2 a little and see if it fixes it.

Thanks for your reply alliancejhall...

I tried placing it a bit away from GroupBox2 but it still shows the same result...

I will try making the default visibility of GroupBox2 to false...as you have posted in first reply...(as i am setting the visibility on form load event)..

I will try the whole process again..
thanks for your valuable time...
