Can't you just use pnlName.BringToFront?

Hi Colin, thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately this does not seem to work either.

Can you post your project as a zip file or a small example showing the problem?

By the way, instead of this code in the DesignerScript
pnlName.SetLeftAndRight(0,100%x)
pnlName.SetTopAndBottom(0,100%y)
you can remove the two lines and set the two anchors to both .

Hi Klaus

Weird, I did a quick demo and the panel shows fine even though I forgot to set the elevation in the designer!
I set the elevation to 0 in my project and the panel is now showing Ok which has just served to confuse me even more...

It may be that I have rebooted my device since or disconnected it form the designer but no matter what I do I cannot get it to go wrong.
All good now but no idea what caused it to behave differently in the first place.

I was aware of the anchors but that makes it difficult in the designer to do the layout with all of the controls from the main activity showing through so I tend to drag panels away from the activity until I am happy with the layout then anchor them when I have finished.

Thanks for your time.
