Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Front to Back Positioning

The Layout Editor provides four operations that enable you to control the front to back positioning of objects that overlap:

• Bring to Front - move the selected object(s) in front of nonselected objects (available from the right-click context menu or the Ctrl+F shortcut).
• Send to Back - move the selected object(s) behind nonselected objects (available from the right-click context menu or the Ctrl+B shortcut).
• Bring Forward - move the selected object(s) forward by one level (i.e., in front of the object directly forward of it, but not in front of all objects that overlay it).
• Send Backward - move the selected object(s) back by one level (i.e., behind of the object directly in back of it, but not behind of all objects that are behind it).

Access these operations from the Layout menu.
