Stacking Panels

MasterCephus · Post by **MasterCephus** » Fri Jul 15, 2011 3:06 pm

I have a form that is 8.5 x 11 in a landscape. I have one panel on the left side (called FrontPanel1) and I want to have two panels (called BackPanel1 & BackPanel2) on the right side of the same size "stacked" on each side such that in my code, I want to disable one of the BackPanels so only one panel is displayed.

the problem is that when I "overlay" the two backpanels, it seems that the panel I lay on top of the others gets put inside the back panel (according to the report tree). So let's say that backpanel2 is "inside" backpanel1, I can't disable backpanel1 and enable backpanel2 because since I've disabled backpanel1, I can't view backpanel2.

Any help with this?

Hello,

Please try to set the Link property of panel components and all components on these panels to true. And then put panels one on one

Thank you.

This absolutely worked! Thanks! If I could have a suggestion, in the case when an item is going to become a child node in the report tree, can you have it prompt (you can have a checkbox to not ask if people don't want it) if the user wants the item to be a child node? I would have never known or thought to use the Link option in the properties to accomplish that.
