Hi all
I am trying to reposition controls on a form at runtime and all is working well, except for one control (Microsoft Web Browser olecontrol). I can adjust its width and height, but whatever I have tried fails to move the control to a new Top and Left position on the form.
I have tried setting Top and Left on the control and its object (i.e. on MyOLEControl and on MyOLEControl.Object. I have tried in the form Init, in the form Activate and from a command button Click event after the form has displayed. All to no avail.
Am I missing something here? I can probably resolve the problem by putting the oleControl inside a container and then moving the container, but I would rather not have to do that.
Many thanks

This happens to me when the anchor is set on the control.

Have you tried making the control invisible then reposition it and then make it visible again?

Many thanks Christof
I hadn't but I have now and it works - quite bizarre. Do you have any kind of explanation?

Remember: ActiveX Controls are essentially mini Windows programs contained in their own (borderless) window. VFP creates a hole in it's own form-window where that ActiveX is then peeking through. For the user there is no visual difference, but programmatically it's a foreign module. With making it invisible, VFP just closes that hole in it's window, and then reopens it, which then forces the ActiveX module to use that hole...
