How To set the control's ZOrder property

[bergie]

In VB6, if we want to put a control on another one, we can set the zorder to be 0. but in VB.net i can't find this property. but i find one method(updateZorder), so there must be a method to set the zorder. anyone knows? thank you!

		Text1.Top = Grid1.CellTop + Grid1.Top
		Text1.Left = Grid1.CellLeft + Grid1.Left
		'Save the position of the grids Row and Col for later"
		gRow = Grid1.Row
		gCol = Grid1.Col
		'Make text box same size as current grid cell:
		Text1.Width = Grid1.CellWidth
		Text1.Height = Grid1.CellHeight
		'Transfer the grid cell text:
		'Text1.Text = Grid1.Text
		'Show the text box:
		Text1.Visible = True
		Text1.BringToFront()
		'Text1.SendToBack()
		Text1.Focus()
		'Redirect this KeyPress event to the text box:
		'If e.keyAscii <> ASC_ENTER Then
		'	SendKeys.Send(Str(e.keyAscii))
		'End If
	End Sub
	'Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Text1.KeyPress
	'	If e.KeyChar = Chr(ASC_ENTER) Then
	'		Grid1.Parent = Grid1
	'		Grid1.Focus() 'Set focus back to grid, see Text_LostFocus
	'	End If
	'End Sub
	Private Sub Text1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Text1.LostFocus
		Dim tmpRow As Integer
		Dim tmpCol As Integer
		'Save current setting of Grid Row and col, This is needed only if 
		'the focus is set somewhere else in the Grid
		tmpRow = Grid1.Row
		tmpCol = Grid1.Col
		'Set Row and Col back to what they were before Text1_LostFocus
		Grid1.Row = gRow
		Grid1.Col = gCol
		Grid1.Text = Text1.Text 'Transfer text back to grid
		'Text1.SelStart = 0
		Text1.Visible = False  'Disable text box
		'Return row and Col contents:
		Grid1.Row = tmpRow
		Grid1.Col = tmpCol
  

	End Sub
	Private Sub Grid1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Grid1.GotFocus
		'Label1.BringToFront()
	End Sub

Any reason you're using the MsFlexGrid as opposed to the DataGrid control? In addition to being more powerful, the DataGrid control is a native .NET control as opposed to a COM component and therefore doesn't require an interop layer.

Sorry, I don't have experience with the FlexGrid and can't help with your problem, just thought I'd throw that suggestion out there.
