Board index » cppbuilder » TImage with TGroupBox, BCB6

I have both a TGroupBox and a TImage on one form.
I'd like to position the TImage on top of the TGroupBox, but not inside the
TGroupBox; however, the TGroupBox always lies on top of the TImage. I have
selected "Bring to Front" on the TImage and "Send to Back" for the
TGroupBox, but nothing changes.
How do make a TImage appear on top of a TGroupBox?

You could place a TImage /on/ a TGroupBox. Or you could place a TImage
/on/ the same component as the TGropupBox is placed.
Are you doing that with the IDE or at runtime ?
TGroupBox.

inside the GroupBox and on the Main Form. Depending on options, one
GroupBox or another is displayed.
shows up on top of the TImage. It's only looks, but it looks tacky.
Optimally, I'd like something similar to a z-index used with <DIV>tags in
HTML so the TImage appears to float above and at the upper right corner of
the TGroupBox.
It may not be possible in Borland. Oh well. Don't worry about it. It is
just fluff for the program anyway.

still see the TImage ? How is Align of TImage?
Even if Image->Align == alClient then you will see the borders of
the TGoupBox. If you do not want that then take a TPanel.

TImage to appear on top of the TGroupBox.
take up the entire form.
Too bad I can't post a pic here. That would have made describing this
problem *much* easier!

the TForm then.
alCustom ? Is that bcb6 ? Bcb5 does not know alCustom. What is it ?
Well you did already I see now. In such a case do tell that here.
Well the picture clearly demonstrates that you placed the TImage on the
TForm. Now you cannot place it on the groupbox by just moving it around.
Just try to place another TImage directly on a TGroupBox.

Hans,
I am using BCB6. My apologies if I somehow misled you to believe it was
BCB5.
Also, I do not want the TImage inside of the TGroupBox; I want it to be On
Top Of the TGroupBox.
When I tried posting the picture for you earlier on
borland.public.attachments, I got a reply that it was not accepted because
of the attachment. I never knew it was there until I saw that you had been
there and seen it. Great! Basically, I want the TImage where it is and the
two TGroupBoxes where they are, but I want the TImage to show up on top.
(FYI: The TImage contains a small company logo.)

TBevel and a TLabel to simulate a TGroupBox. It looks exactly the same. Set
the TBevel's Shape to bsFrame.
Select all the components in the group box, press Ctrl+X, delete the group
box, place a TBevel on the form, and set its alignment like you had the
TGroupBox. Now, place a TLabel on the bevel, and move it until it is over
the bevel, so that it looks like a TGroupBox. Now click the bevel, and
press Ctrl+V. You'll have to move the components back into place, but it
will allow you to place a TImage over the bevel.

Cool! Thanks.
