I thought about this approach, but ran into the same layering problems you did. I also thought about having both tab panels in the same window, but having one located off the edge of the window, and the moving them into view or out of view when they needed to be, but this causes problems when full keyboard navigation is on (it's possible to tab to controls that aren't visible). Maybe I really do need to rethink the entire interface, but the only other option I can come with at the moment is a wizard-like interface, and that thought simply fills me with great amounts of disgust. :-) Sincerely, Scott -- SearchWare Solutions Simply Great Software http://www.searchwaresolutions.com Webthoughts: http://www.searchwaresolutions.com/other/weblog/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
