Move to back "iwebbrowser2". Possible?

Hi,

 

I would like to know if it is possible to move to back the "iwebbrowser2" indicator in the Front Panel. I am trying to implement a simple path editor for Google Maps with a XY graph on top of the "iwebbrowser", but no matter I do, the browser is always above the rest.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Greetings!

I tried and you are right, move to back does not work. It works on an empty .NET container but as soon as you put the web browser in it you can not move it back.

 

You are trying to cover it with something else right? If you don't want to see it you can hide the indicator. Or am I not understanding correctly?

Hi,

 

Thanks for your message!

 

The idea is to implement a path editor for an UAV with Google Maps as background. I was planning to do it covering the Google Maps window with a XY graph with a transparent background but I guess it's not possible... I should try a different approach, but I guess there isn't an easy solution since the 'iwebbrowser' will be always on top...

I just tried with an ActiveX container. Same deal - can not put a LabVIEW control in front. I tried changing to a Visio document but get the same behavior.

 

Anyone know a workaround? If there is not a workaround then you can probably extract the document into an image and go from there.

Hi Metropolitan,

would be enough if you use a picture as background of your XY graph?
