It's a matter of tab order. Put the static controls on the bottom.

Sorry, didnt find a better group;-/

in vc6, i could z-align the statics and the controls "inside" by
pressing [Strg]+[D] and set the statics to some tab-indizes well above
the ones of the controls.

unfortunately, in vc9 this seems not to work. i can set them to
transparent and see at least some icons, but what i really want to
have is a static-box _behind_ the controls.

any suggestions...?


Perhaps your keyboard mapping has changed (it's Ctrl+D for me), but the feature is still
there in VS 9 resource editor. Look on the Format menu for Tab Order. Or go into the
Customization and check the keyboard, toolbar or menu usage of the
Format.TabOrder command.


It's not a problem of missing feature ... i can use [Ctrl]+[D] to
change tab-order. The
problem is that my static boxes hide all controls inside; i mean in
editor, not when the
dlg called. So when i want to rearrange something, i first have to
move away the static,
rearrange what i want to rearrange and then move the static back
again. Sometimes i
have to also resize the dialog twice to do that. With about 30 dialogs
my rsc, this is a
little bit annoying.
