Slide pointer fill z-order

[ClausB]

Hi,

I've noticed after upgrading from Meas. Studio 6 to 8.1.1 that the Z-Order of CNiSlide pointer fills has reversed. To demonstrate:

- Open NI example project "Slide Styles", edit the dialog, and bring up the property pages for IDC_SLIDE_COLOR.

- Click on the Pointer "Max" and change its Fill Style to "Fill to Minimum" and notice that the red bar overdraws the yellow.

- Click on Advanced and notice that "Max" has a lower Z-Order than "Min" so the yellow should draw over the red.

- Click on "Max" and move it up above "Min" and notice that the yellow now appears when it should be below the red.

It's backward, no? I see the same behavior when building CNiSlide objects programmatically. My app worked under version 6 but it exhibits this problem when run under version 8.1.1.

Hi Claus,

I have investigated this issue and verified the behavior you describe.  The z-order of the pointer fills is indeed reversed for the CWSlide control in Measurement Studio 8.1.1.  This is unexpected behavior and I have produced a Corrective Action Request for this feature to be fixed.

Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention.

You're welcome.

Is there any progress on this? I see that version 8.5 is out but this is not in the bugs fixed list.

Thanks.

Hi ClausB,

This has been fixed and is working properly in the currently available version of Measurement Studio 8.5 on the web.

Thanks. I'll try it out.

I tried version 8.5 and it works. Thank you.
