Z-Index & C#

[metalguy90]

Is there a way to modify controls on an application (not web application) so that I could layer one on top of the other using properties such as Z-Index?

Z-Index used to be in older versions of Visual Studio and is found in HTML & ASP pages, and I was wondering where this is found in Visual Studio Express.

Try this.Controls.SetChildIndex() and this.Controls.GetChildIndex()

"The control with an index value of zero is at the top of the z-order, and higher numbers are closer to the bottom."

You did it that way, right? I believe that's backwards from the way stuff like css does it.

I ran into a problem with ASP.NET dropdowns always being on top. We made custom controls that extended the standard ones and added some javascript stuff for certain events to either set the z-index or set the style to display:none.
