Drawing ontop of controls

[madsun]

I have a complex user control, with several controls, including picturebox, label, shapes etc. Now..i want a simple line that goes from one picturebox, then via an label and then to another picturebox. How can this be achived?

If I'm reading this correctly. You want to place a line over all the other controls ? It's a pain in the butt that all controls weren't created equally.

Since you already know how to make user controls, what if you made a second user control. Make it the same size as the other control. Then, place a line control in it and set the usercontol's backStyle=0 ( transparent )

Then, just add the line UserControl to your control, make it topmost and there you go. If the line needs to be move-able just set up properties for the control.

If that isn't what you need, please post a little more info.
