Setting the layer of a control with a background group

Post by gyroscope » Fri Apr 24, 2009 3:00 pm

I need to change the layer of one button within a grouped group of buttons. The code I have at the moment (a line from Bernd's code) is:

Code: Select all

set the layer of me to (the number of controls) 

but I get the error:

Object: Can't set layer (card not open, or control in group)

I can't temporarily ungroup because I have these buttons set as a background. Has anyone any ideas here please :?:

Hi Gyroscope,

check "RelayerGroupedControls" in the docs, that is what your are looking for :-)

HINT!
Handle with care, since this way you can "relayer" any object out of the group accidentally!

Hi Klaus

Do you mean the band Spirogyra or a genus of filamentous green algae of the order Zygnematales :wink: (Google is handy sometimes!)
