[VFP] Grey overlay while Editing Form

[echolis]

I'm in the midst of testing a VFP form using a tab interface (Page Group Control). Everything seems to be working well in production.

But, while editing the form, my Antview 2 instance is on a tab that is not the primary or active tab. A large grey box appears on top of all my form controls, in the same size and position of the antview control. I can't edit any of my controls.

I've attached a sample of what I'm seeing. 

My lazy fix is to position the antview control off screen and re-position it at runtime. I also set .Visible to true on page activation and false on deactivation.

It's a minor inconvenience

Thanks for the report.
You had a similar, or at least related, report here:  [VFP] WebView2 Container always on top / not contained within Page Frame

We'll investigate to see if there's anything we can do and will get back to you on this.

No hurry, but did you see my reply by email from last Tuesday?

It looks like that there's no easy fix for this issue, at least we haven't found one yet.

There is however a workaround that mitigates this issue somewhat so that at least you do not have to move the AntView component out of the way.
In the IDE, if you have set the visible state of the control to false.. it ALWAYS shows, regardless on what tab page you are on.
Which is the issue reported.

However if you leave the visible state of the control on its default “true” state then it does show up over the first tab, but if you then switch to tab2 and then back to tab1 it no longer shows up overlapping existing controls.
It's not a great workaround, but it still is better than having to move the AntView control to another spot.
There's a ticket open for it, so hopefully we can find a proper solution in the future, but for the moment this is it.
