I wish to display a hierarchical collection of text paragraphs (read
outline) in overlapped text boxes, the highest level containing the box
for the second level which in turn contains the box for the third level.
Unfortunately, if a box "on top" of another box is not full, the "lower"
box bleeds back throuhg the upper one. Does anyone know how to do this
trick in VB? MicroSloth says that overlapping controls are not supported
and that anomalies are known to occur. Thanks a lot guys! As a
programmer without infinite time for study any assistance in this would
be greatly appreciated.
