WebControl ZOrder problem

[Mike Hardy]

Hi, I have a page with dropdown menus in layers. In this
page there is also a IFrame loading another page with some
combobox in it.

My problem is this, when I hover on my menu to show the
dropdown the combobox is on top of the layer. Is there a
way to have the layer on top of the combobox?

I have provided a link to a picture so you can see the
problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mike,

This is a very common problem due to combox being a windowed control. A
common approach is to hide the combobox when showing the menu and restoring
it later. If you do a quick search on http://groups.google.com you should
find lots of posts related to this issue and how people is tackling it.

Thanks, I think I'm going to modify the page layout so the
menu and the combobox don't overlap.
