Forms - drawing order of staticpicture?

[Peter2_1]

Oracle, Industry Model (but maybe the same in FDO ..)

-----------------

I want to add two static overlapping images to my forms, and I want to place one image "above" the other - a kind of drawing order.

How can I define the "draw order" of static images?

Regards

Hi @Peter2_1 

Are you referring to images added using Data Connect?

Map 3D's way is to use Draw Order button.

If you want the AutoCAD entities underneath Feature Data Objects (FDOs) then put 'Map Base' at the bottom of the Map Task Pane. To move plain vanilla line work on top of FDOs, draw Map Base to top of Task Pane.

To move Map Base or the Data Connect Layers, left click-and-drag.

@ChicagoLooper 

thanks, but I don't mean the drawing or map elements. I'm talking about the design of the "forms / dialogues" which can contain images too.

do you mean programming with a windows form or user control?  if yes, you might want to post in the "Map3D Developer" forum.

if you are programming, you could look here:
