Alignment in MDI (StatusBar and PictureBox)
I have some trouble with the alignment of a statusbar and a picturebox that I have in an mdiform. In Visual Basic I place the statusbar below the picturebox. The are both aligned 'bottom'. When I run the program and do
statusbar.visible = false
statusbar.visible = true
I get the statusbar above the picturebox. How can I get it back below the picturebox?
statusbar.visible = false
statusbar.visible = true
I get the statusbar above the picturebox. How can I get it back below the picturebox?
Have you tried the ZOrder property?
Don't bother with that it doesn't work. Thats an interesting problem, I see what you mean. Still working on it.

ryancys, thanks for your sportsmanship
Best regards, Nigel
P.S.
Oh yes, the reason it didn't work for me was because I used...
StatusBar1.ZOrder = 0
which threw an error. In any case either of the two solutions works.

Hi!
Thankyou very much for the answers. Now I have another problem. Can I accept more than one comment as answer? It's because nigelrowe asked me if I had tried the zorder(). In fact I had. But I didn't get it to work. Then ryancys posted an example and that helped me. Hm... Which answer do you want me to accept?

It depends on you. Personally I would use...

In design time, as this eliminates a line of code being run during runtime.
Yes there is a way to split the points, but I'm not sure how to do it, perhaps ryancys can shed some light on this.

kpnkpn, to split the points, you need to post a zero point question in community support https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt and give the url of this question and the distribution of points you require. Say 10 points each (or whatever you feel is appropriate).

No way I split the points that silly way. A waste of time. I give the points to the comment that helped me.
