How do I change the layer order of the indicators and controls on the front panel?

[jim006]

This would be similar to the "send to back", "bring forward", "send backward", and "bring to front" menu items in graphical drawing tools.

When I have overlapping indicators, I want to change the order in which they layer. I only want to do this when editing the faceplate... not programatically (since I can handle that using transparacy).

It would be very similar to those commands you listed as menu items in graphical drawing tools. LabVIEW (6-7, not sure about 5) has them! They are in the little toolbar menu next to the align and distribute menus.

ctrl-K = Bring to Front
ctrl-J = Send to Back
ctrl-shift-K = Move forward
ctrl-shift-J = Move back

Thanks!

I spent a couple hours looking for that, including searching the help and on-line discussion forum.

I suspected the answer was simple since no one really asked about it in the forum... however I couldn't find it in the help searching for "bring to front", "layering", "z-order", nor "send to back".

Thanks for spending the time to answer the question!
