How to place objects on top of each other

Hi All,

I have a container with some tab-pages. On one of the pages i have a toolbar, browse and two viewers.
I would like to place the two viewers on top of each other and, depending on a chosen record in a browse, hide/display viewer-1/viewer-2.
The hiding and viewing of the viewers is no problem, but i can't get the viewers on top of each other during initialization of the page.

What would be the best way to create the two viewers on top of each other?

Hi Jack,

Sorry if I'm looking at this the wrong way .. is your problem that you can not put the viewers on top of each other when designing the page ? I've found that you have to place the 2nd viewer on the page and then drag it over .. If this is not the problem .. sorry again (I'm new to all this ... :-) )

Hi Paul,

Yes, that is basically my problem.
If I drag a viewer and drop it on another viewer when designing, they only change places in the relative layout. I cannot get them on top of one another.
I'm working with dynamics 2.1 (the Progress openEdge version), perhaps it differs in this respect from yours.

Regards, Jack.
 
I found another solution which works fine. It's the folder-in-a-folder.
I created a smartFrame with a folder object in it, defined two pages and put the viewer-1 on page 1 and viewer-2 on page-2 and finally I hid the tabs. (ofcourse I also added some links). Now I can control from code which page will be visible.
