I use layering a lot, but not with a lot of tabs, other than once in "RunDemos" for Win32Lib, but that doesn't have a lot of controls IN the tabs. When I do have difficulty getting a control to be exactly where I want it, for instance, if there may be another control in a location SOME times, but I want ANOTHER control to be in that location another time, I just put the second control wherever I can, & then tell it to be moved to the actual intended location when the window opens and made invisible; then when it should be useable, I make the original control invisible & the second one visible. That's really all layers is doing anyway, doing a "gross" vis/invis thing, so any additional vis/invis is just a tweak. Will something like that help? Dan Moyer
