z-order

Ive a ListBox with a Canvas ItemsPanel that displays 2 different types of objects: NodeVMs and LinkLineVMs (using a CompositeCollection). Each VM object has a DataTemplate: NodeVMs DataTemplate has a TextBlock (A) LinkLineVMs DataTemplate has a Line (B) and a TextBlock (C) How get the following absolute z-order: A (top), C, B (bottom). <ListBox> <ListBox.Resources> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type p:NodeVM}"> <StackPanel> <TextBlock ... /> ... </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type p:NetworkLinkVM}"> <Grid> <Line ... /> <TextBlock ... /> </Grid> </DataTemplate> </ListBox

I've been looking all over for some mention of this, but I cannot find any substantial information on it. Is there a way to change the z-order of Swing components, or at least change the draw order so that they appear to be above others? Amir Afghani You are looking for setComponentZOrder Here's an example . If you want to overlay components over other components, you should use JLayeredPane , which will let you add components to specific layers. This is precisely what's used for things like tooltips and drag-and-drop operations. Here's a tutorial for it as well. Look at the setComponentZOrder

How do I set Z-order for VBox in JavaFX? Z-order in JavaFX is actually the order in the scenegraph, eg. in the content sequence of the scene (then in the contents of the groups, containers, etc.). All nodes have also toFront() and toBack() functions to help changing this order. For finer control, you have to remove nodes from one place and insert it higher or lower in the sequence. With the toFront() and toBack() functions you can indeed influence the z-order, but be aware that this also influences the layout. The HBox and VBox for instance also use the sequence of children to do the layout

Folks, Please does anyone know how to show a Form from an otherwise invisible application, and have it get the focus (i.e. appear on top of other windows)? I'm working in C# .NET 3.5. I suspect I've taken "completely the wrong approach"... I do not Application.Run(new TheForm ()) instead I (new TheForm()).ShowModal() ... The Form is basically a modal dialogue, with a few check-boxes; a text-box, and OK and Cancel Buttons. The user ticks a checkbox and types in a description (or whatever) then presses OK, the form disappears and the process reads the user-input from the Form, Disposes it, and

I have a problem to send the view to back. In Android we have a method like bringToFront() , to place the view on top of the another view. Like that, I want to put the view on below the previous image. Is there any method like sendToBack() or bringToBack() in Android. If so, can any one help me in this. Note: that I do not want to control the z-order by the order of placing items in layout I want to control the z-order programmatically. I do not want to hide the views on the front I just want them to be behind the view that is moving. Afaik there's no built-in solution for this. I guess you're

I have activity and a lot of widgets on it, some of them have animations and because of the animations some of the widgets are moving (translating) one over another. For example the text view is moving over some buttons . . . Now the thing is I want the buttons to be always on the front. And when the textview is moving I want to move behind the buttons. I can not achieve this I tried everything I know, and "bringToFront()" definitelly doesn't work. note I do not want to control the z-order by the order of placing element to layout cause I simply can't :), the layout is complex and I can not
