I'm really stuck on this one.
The problem is that i need to have controls on separate 'layers' i.e. place controls over or under other controls or between two controls. (The program is designed to create GUI layouts for a separate program also written in vb.net)
At first i tried doing this with panels, having dynamically created panels positioned over each other...the problem with this being that panels cannot be 'truly' transparent (they just seem to take the bg colour of the parent control) and controls on lower panels therefore cant be seen through the upper panels.
Is there so way of organizing many controls to appear over, under and between other controls besides this method? Can you think of anything that may help?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
