How to position the decoration elements over an ActiveX Object on the FP

[Archangel]

Hi everybody,

I've got stacked on relatively simple task (I've tought). I've made a small supporting VI to a main application, which should just show the acquired image from a SUMIX camera that is included in a complex experimental system. I want to draw a few lines and circles over the "real time" image, in order to simplify the positioning and give a refence point for the users. However I can't reorder the ActiveX object and the elements from the decoration pallet. The standard commands like move to forward/front etc. do not work in this case. Does any one has an idea, how can I reorder the objects, or an alternative way or resolve this issue? Thanks!

p.s.: the beta VI is also attached

The Active X and .Net container are simply place holders that an external component draws into. While both Active X and .Net containers could in theory support overlapping controls there is almost no Actve X or .Net component that actually supports this properly if it even attempts at supporting it (most don't even do that). Without the component supporting that properly there is no magic in the world that would allow LabVIEW to make it work.
