I couldn't think of what I'd need to search for to find this, "always on top" always seems to have had more to do with the window than what I want:

I am making a weather-station creation program which gives you a standard weather station reading (like a circle with a line coming out of it).

However, the picture of the circle in the middle (which indicates cloud cover based on different fillings) has a box around it, which seems to swallow up anything else within it. To illustrate my point:

Code:
Here, the X is fine:
______
      | X
      |
      |

But if it's here, the white part of the picturebox makes the X go underneath it:
______
     X| 
      |
      |
What I'd like to know is this: Is there any way to make a control always be over an image, rather than under it? When I use the "Send to back" button on the image, the control which overlaps the picture always goes underneath it, rather than logically staying on top.

How would I keep the control on top of the picture rather than under it?
