Graphics Order

[ShelbySue]

I am trying to draw on a picture. Is there anyway to change the display order of these controls? I also was hoping to draw on a label control, but that, also, seems to have display order priority.

I have included a sample that draws a graphic control both before and after picture to eliminate the question about WHEN you create the control. (Pauses inserted for clarification.)

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$p1 = "C:\Documents and Settings\...\1.jpg"
if not FileExists($p1) Then 
    msgbox(0,"","File Missing")
    Exit
endif
$total_width = 507
$total_hi = 516
$left = 75
$top = 5 
$g2 = GuiCreate("MyGUI", $total_width, $total_hi,-1, -1 ,-1,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)


GuiSetState()

$b4 = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(5,50,125,200)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($b4,0x00ff00)
GUICtrlSetColor($b4,0xff0000)

sleep(1000)

$Pic_1 = GuiCtrlCreatePic($p1, $left, $top, 150, 260)

sleep(1000)

$b5 = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(200,50,125,200)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($b5,0x00fffff)
GUICtrlSetColor($b5,0xff0000)


While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

The style $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS will help with some of what you want.
