I have one floating window that acts as a search bar with a textfield on it. When the search bar has anything typed in it, another floating window opens and lists search results. I want the results window to almost act as an auto-complete field would where it looks like its dropping-down from the search bar. When the results window is open, I would like it to display in front of the the search bar no matter what. It all works/looks fine unless you click back to the search bar, in which case the search bar appears on top of the results box. I know I could do some coding in the Activate event on the search bar and re-show the search results window if its open, but im wondering if there is any sort of built in functionality in RB to control the order of floating windows automatically?

Not that I know of. On the other hand, if you want the results window to appear to drop down from the search window, why donât you just make it one window instead of two? You could have a listbox or whatever you use for presenting the results below the search field. The listbox would be invisible at first since the window height would be such that only the search bar was visible. Once you have collected the search results you would expand the window height to also show the listbox. _________________ Michael J.
