Panel - Bring to front

[alfcen]

Although set to front and color-drawable in the Designer, a panel does not appear to z-index over views based on images. Is there any means to force a panel over all other elements?

Are you sure that those views are not child views of the panel?

 

[alfcen]

Absolutely sure. The image based views were added in code.
If the Panel is added in code as well:

Panel1.Initialize("Panel1")
   Activity.AddView(Panel1,0 ,0, 100%x, 100%y)
   Panel1.Color = Colors.Black

then all is fine.

There is no means of confirming the result of "Bring to front" in the Designer.
Anyway, it's fine with me to add that panel in code.

By the way, your answers are too fast :icon_clap:

I think I understand. You added a panel in the designer and then added an ImageView by code.
Views that are added later will always be in front of previous views.
With the new Core library you can call View.BringToFront to change the zorder in runtime.

That's right, Erel and I now understand why. Also in the code, in order to get to the top, the Panel must be placed after all other views.

I will get the latest Core. Thanks so much!
