putting indicators in "boxes"

I have a front panel in labview 6.0. I am trying to put the indicators into boxes. I have drawn a box with the decoration line. I have put some of the indicators in the box. However I want to change the background colour in the box from white to yellow. I want to keep the background colour of the rest of the front panel white. Is that possible. The file is attached.

Don't draw the box with a decoration LINE, draw it with a BOX. Then paint the BACKGROUND of the box in your favorite color.

Thanks. However when I move the existing indicators into the box, the box "swallows" them. The indicators appear to go behind the box. The box will overide or hide the indicators, even changing the box colour to white does not help. However new indicators do not have the problem. I hate to redraw my LV. Is there a way out?

The indicators appear to go behind the box.

Select the box (only) and choose MOVE TO BACK.

(Or, select all the controls without the box, and choose MOVE TO FRONT.)

Where do I find the command "MOVE TO BACK" or "MOVE TO FRONT"? I am using labview6.0

In the reorder menu, to the right of the alignment and distribution menus on your front panel.
