$GUI_ONTOP sends labels to wrong end of z-order

[MattyD]

Apologies if this should be a comment in #2287, I wasn't sure if that was still appropriate given the age of the ticket.

Anyway, the $GUI_ONTOP flag seems to send static controls to the wrong end of the z-order. Discussion is here:

Thanks,

Hi,
The proposed go around are equivalent to revert the #2287 But now how to have both working?

Thanks for the help

Hi,
I found a solution for the use of $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
I am not sure why the solution for #2247 need to use an insertion to botom for label without the $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
Fix sent to Jon
