It would be quite nice if a TImage could be on top of a TPanel in the Z-order. At
the moment it seems to always be behind. I can sort of see why this is done, but
surely the send-to back should fix it generally? It might be nice to have a
property to control if it sticks to the back or not.

For the moment, I've put it on a TPanel which is then able to be on top of others.

Which solves the over the top part, but I just realised that it can't be
transparent, so the image (a circle) gets a horrible white block as I drag it.
Which comes back to allowing the TImage to be on top of other controls.

(Not sure why I ended up posting in this topic, sorry!)

I'd like a TLabel to be able to be on top of a TPanel too. I'm trying to work out
how to do a fancy slider control, and the text would be good on top of multiple
panels.

Matthew,

I'm assuming that you're talking about design-time ?

This won't be possible until EWB 2.0 - currently EWB is using an actual
Windows container control for the panels at design-time, whereas EWB 2.0
will have a new form designer that allows for full transparency for all
controls.

I was, but only because I'd not thought it might be different at run time! I will
experiment - run time is all that matters.
