Changing draw order by code

[olivier]

hi,

Is there a way to change the draw order of element dynamically by ladder function?

I got two text at the same place on the screen i want to hide one and see the other. But just by using the Hide property the top level text is hidden but the bottom level text isn't visible.

I can't use list of text because i wan't different font size for each text.

Thank you

I never noticed this until you just pointed it out. If it is just going to be this one occurance, as a work around, you could use a binary image instead and create the text as an image. I know its a crummy workaround, but it is guaranteed to work.

Hide really should cause the thing to completly disappear though. IMHO i would consider this a bug.

Hi,

What you should do is to use the "hide" option as follows:

When you want to display the text - activate the "hide" and in the following scan de-activate it.

See example attached.

This is the correct version

Hi olivier,

Yes you can use the list of texts, to have different sizes of fonts, you have to use the string library and set the font from within the string library.

Hope this helps
