>I've noticed I can't put any VFP control on top of any ActiveX control provided in VFP6 - my VFP control remains invisible, covered by the ActiveX control. Neither Layout toolbar ("Bring to Front"/"Send to Back" buttons) nor ZOrder method (called for the VFP or for the ActiveX control) helped me.
>It's maybe not a big problem for more of the ActiveX controls, I could just leave them covering everything on top of them, but, for example, for MS TabStrip control, ver.6.0, I'm loosing some of the control's facilities (I mean Client area properties, Placement property) because of the reason described above.

Hello Mario,

The only way to place another control on top of the ActiveX control I know is to have it in separate small form and put that form over the form with ActiveX. It is extra work and may not be acceptable solution in many cases but it can be done.
