Setting Zorder of ActiveX Control

[Terry_S]

I see this question was asked in 2002 and I am hoping in 2012 I am able to do this.

I have an AxtiveX control that displays the live image from a usb camera.  I would like to be able to fill the screen up with the image and then have a panel populated with controls and indicators slide out from the side of my window when I click on a tab.  I have gone ahead and created the panel and the events to slide the panel (TAB control) out from the right side of my window.  However when the vi is run my panel is below the live image.  Is there a way to get my panel to the top of the order?

Thanks

Terry

ActiveX containers, as far as I know, basically form a new window, so they will always be in front of everything in the same front panel. What you can try doing is creating a different VI as your sliding panel and use its window properties to slide it into place.
