    make label's zorder above picturebox

    Is there a way to make a Label appear foremost over a picturebox?

    How about setting the Label's container to the PictureBox?

    The label must also be able to move beyond the bounds of the picturebox.

    Labels, shapes and lines are so called lightweight controls.
    These controls do not really exists as windows in their own right but rather are drawn by their parent control (form, picturebox etc.) when it is refreshed.

    This means that they cannot float above any other control that is on top of their parent - a control cannot draw on another control's area.

    There are ways around this (like creating a window of style "STATIC" to represent the label) but they aren't too straight forward.

    Well I've used drag/drop methods to do what I want. It just doesn't look like I want it to.
