Display order...

I searched on all of the combinations I could think of, because I'm sure this one is on the board somewhere, but since I couldn't find it, I'll post...

I have a device with several frames "stacked" on top of other that are normally hidden, but become visible when they are activated. So, for the sake of argument, panel1 is hidden unless activepanel = 1, panel2 is hidden unless acvitepanel = 2 etc. The panels themselves contain just buttons, nothing fancy...

My problem comes from not being able to get anything to be on to the top of these panels. No matter what I put on top of the panels, they always show on top.

Along with putting the graphic on top of the frames, I've tried every template and template overlay with no luck.

Am I missing something obvious or am I out of luck?

Thanks,

This is because the panel does not have a semi-transparent background. This is kind of a workaround to a windowing problem to ensure popup frames are -in front- of tree views, list views, and web browsers.

Create a semi-transparent background graphic, assign it to the frame(s) in question, and you should be fine.

I was just about to give up and start redesigning my layout to avoid the conflict...

Now if only the image degradation problem were fixed...

Thanks again!
