How to get a label to the front of a pictureBox

[toughcoder]

Hi, I have a pictureBox and a lable on my usercontrol. I want to bring thelabel in front of the picturebox, which doesnt seems to be possible. When i select 'Bring to front' from the dit menu on the label, nothing happens. Similiarly, if I choose 'Send to back' on the pictureBox, its not going back. I want a way in which i can bring the label in front of the picturebox. I used the API BringWindowToTop, but it could also not solve the problem. Plz help.

I think it may be because labels don't have a hWnd, can you use a locked textbox instead? If not maybe you can make up your own label ActiveX?

thanx Rick, but i got another alternate for my problem. Now I have pasted the label box inside the picturebox, aint that clever.

Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that

or you could have right clicked it and choose Bring To Front..

He said in the first post it doesn't work for labels/pictures.
