VFP6 - containers on a form

[eric43]

Is there a limit of 2 containers on a form? I keep getting 'not found' errors for the 3rd one.

Or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks

Eric

Eric,

No, there's no limit that would cause that error.

What exactly is the error message, and under what circumstances do you see it?

Mike

Hi Eric,

Did you want the third one into one of the first two?
Resulting in thisform.container1.container1 ?

It may look as if you did so, but I assume the third container is still on the form level. It's only visually within the boundaries of a container.

You need to activate a container (use the context menu/right click - "edit") and then can put a container into it. You'll see the outer container will then clip the inner container.

For faster selection use [CTRL] key with a normal left click to activate a container. You can click through many levels faster that way.

Bye, Olaf.

Thanks Mike and Olaf,

I created separate forms again rather than containers and it works. I will investigate the multiple containers later.

Thanks again

Eric
