How to create superposition of graphic calcs ?

[she]

Hello,

I'm looking for the way I could create such a superposition of graphical levels (with transparent calcs) in order to have a hierarchy in the appearing of the different graphics that I want to put in each calc.
For example:

I have some graphical forms in the calc1 and other in the calc2.
When these two calcs are moving and recovering , the calc1 must have the visible priority over the calc2.

If someone has an idea about how to realize such a function, in VB or other language that could be integrated in a VB project.

Tahnk you all
Bye

If you mean Z-ordering of your controls, you can call the Zorder function on them (if they have any) and they will be sent to the front.

she ; I'd just use an array that stores info on what's being drawn.
Say you wanted to draw graphs :

Private Layer(0 to 5) As myLayer
Private Type myLayer
    Points() As myPoint
End Type
Private Type myPoint
    x As Long
    y As Long
End Type

Then when you want a layer to be on top of another, you'd clear your picturebox (or whatever), then draw the bottom-most layer, then work your way up to the upper-most layer.....

Thats how I'd do it.
I wouldnt listen to that kedaman guy, he doesnt really know what he's talking about. He likes to pretend he knows how to program
