Shape order in picturebox

[sgrya1]

Hi all,

I have a picture box where I want to draw lines, but then hide segments of the picturebox (hiding the drawn lines).

Then I want to be able to draw on top of the covered areas.

If a shape is drawn to a picture box in the IDE then it is always behind any lines drawn at run time.

if I load a shape at runtime it is always infront of all drawn lines despite drawing lines after loading and locating the shape.

Any suggestions?

If you are using Line and Shape control then you may arrange them by using ZOrder:

Shape1.ZOrder '<<< this will put shape control in front of all other windowless controls such line, label, etc

'or

Line1.ZOrder

I see. Thanks RinoBull.

So I can't really use shape and line controls in conjunction with a line method.

Picture1.Line (x1,y1)-(x2,y1)

if I want to layer a drawing.

.Line (x1,y1)-(x2,y1) will always be drawn to the picturebox under any controls.
