Forelayer not working(?)

Hi,

I was under the impron that forelayer alowed us to raw OVER any control on the form....
But it just won't....
Is this a bug???

The ForeLayer is drawn under the controls.
It allows you to have two graphical layers, one for the background and one for the dynamic graphics.

So there is NO way to paint over a control, such as an image or textBox?

Dound this bit of info on the web...

2. Remove the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style from the form so that the form is
allowed to draw over the controls on it. This can be done as follows:

const int WS_CLIPCHILDREN = 0x02000000;
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.Style &= ~WS_CLIPCHILDREN;
return cp;
}
}

Click to expand...

is this doable width b4p?will it work on both the desktop and device?

You can draw over an Image control: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4ppc-wishlist/1583-drawing-image-control.html

Found a simpler way to be able to draw on top of an image...
I just added a Main.DrawImage(Clock.Image,Clock.Left,Clcok.Top,Clock.Width,Clock.Heigth)
line and made the image control Clock.Visible=False...
This way i have the exact same image in the exact same position as before, but merged to the background....
For my label, I'll use the DrawString instead....

A nice learning experience for me, anyway..

@EREL, sorry for the trouble, would you so kind to move this thread to the questions one?
