Hi Born2Burn,
The way controls on a form are displayed is determined by their z-order. The control's z-order is determined by its position in the form's Controls collection, with the first control in the collection being at the front (top layer) and the last at the back. You will need to change control's z-order in order to make things look right.
There are a few options to fix this at design time:
- Right-click on the Measurement Studio Control and select Bring to Front. This will change it's position in the form's Controls collection to 0, making it the top of z-order. Similarly, you could right-click on the Tab control and choose Send to Back.
- Select the Measurement Studio Control and click Format » Order » Bring to Front from Visual Studio's menu. There are also two icons on the Layout toolbar that will allow you to either "Send to Front" or "Send to Back".
Additionally, Visual Studio 2005 also includes a very useful tool window called Document Outline. You can access this from
View » Other Windows » Document Outline, or by using the keyboard shortcut:
Ctrl+Alt+T. The Document Outline will allow you to rearrange controls by simply draging and droping them into their correct z-order
