[EO] HP/MP/EXP Over PicScreen

[Irhymer]

Hey, I finally decided to mess around with EOv2.0 while waiting to build my game in PV. But when I jumped in to edit the GUI I ran into a (probably easy) problem.

Whenever I moved picture boxes like HP/MP/EXP over the picscreen they would go under the pile of objects. Even when I hit 'bring to front' nothing changed. I was wondering If anyone could help me out with getting this to work please?

Thanks in Advanced,  ;)

Example:

```
picHP.zOrder(0)

```
This is like bring to front. I use it for drag-gable menus.

And you're never on msn anymore, shame on you.

Thanks alot, I'll mess around with it. I just need to change the 'picHP' part to whatever item its ordering right?
Oh and does 0 represent the top? As in if I want Hp/Mp/Exp to be on top, would it be ex:

```
picHP.zOrder(0)
picMP.zOrder(1)
picEXP.zOrder(2)
```
? or just all set to 0?

ZOrder is not only for forms but any control within the form that has a handle (hWnd property).

Just play with it.

zOrder only accepts two numbers. 0 = set to (very) front, and 1 = set to (very) back. So your code is:

```
[code]picHP.zOrder(0)
picMP.zOrder(0)
picEXP.zOrder(0)[/code]
```

Well it's executing the command when you click the graphic. Why not add the simple Zorder commands to the forms loading event handler?

Still not working no matter where I put it:
```
imgHPBar.ZOrder (0)
    imgMPBar.ZOrder (0)
    imgEXPBar.ZOrder (0)
    picScreen.ZOrder (1)
    picTrade.ZOrder (1)
    picBank.ZOrder (1)
```
I tried placing it here:
```
Public Sub loadGUI(Optional ByVal loadingScreen As Boolean = False)
Dim i As Long
```And got defining errors. Then here:

```
Private Sub Form_Load()
```It compiled and placed the Bars over the labels but never over the picScreen.
