Is there a way to change 'Z' order of controls on a form?

[Robin]

Hi

I've got 2 controls that I wish to move so that they sit on top of an image,
but they appear (or rather don't) behind the image. The z order seems to be
controlled entirely by the order in which things were created - newest on
top.

I could obviously recreate these controls but they are fairly complex and I
don't really want to do that. I could copy the existing controls; they do
then appear on top but I lose all of the event procedures so I would need to
go through the code renaming them.

Is there any other way to change z order?

(Ok - I just found that cutting and pasting each control works rather than
dragging it, although the event procedures go missing from the control
properties, but I'd still like to know if there's a better way to do this?)

In form design view, you can select a control, and on the Format menu choose
Bring-to-Front or Send-to-Back.

Ah. One of the consequences of 'discovery learning' on your own, is that
you sometimes miss the most stupidly obvious things.

Thank you Allen - I'm embarrassed now
