Hi.

I created two draggable TPanels on a form both of which work well. I notice
however that the z-order they are created with does not seem to change when
clicking them. This means that the TPanel at the back of the z-order remains
there and can't be dragged over another panel.

Any chance that the z-order for clicked TPanels (and perhaps other
components) can be changed so that they are brought to front?

Thanks.

The visual controls were specifically coded *not* to do this (except for the
forms), so I'll have to think about this some more.  More than likely this
will have to be a separate property.

The panel z-order appears to be a problem also during development. I can't
seem to change the order of the panels in the form designer. It seems that
the z-order is dependent on the order in which the panels are created.

Is there some way to bring an earlier created panel/control to the front of
other panels/controls on the form in the form designer?

On the form designer toolbar, there are "bring to front"/"send to back"
buttons that control this.

Thanks Tim.

As a suggestion, I think it would be worthwhile adding the functionality to
the control's right click menu (in a future release). I keep forgeting about
the toolbar.

Noted - there's a lot of little stuff like this that needs added.
