VI Scripting -- setting order of objects on FP

[warren_scott]

I've got a application where I'm using VI scripting to move stuff around on the front panel of a bunch of VI's to make them conform to coding guidelines.  One of the problems I have is that some objects are on top of other objects (when they are supposed to be behind other objects).  I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to use VI scripting to make one item on the FP on top of (or behind) another object (LV2012sp1).

Any help?

Thanks

I don't think you can according to this message thread.

Programmatically reordering controls visually (forward & back) on front panel

Sweet!!  That looks like it works.

Be aware that this VI uses private methods and will have no support from NI until the method has been made public.

Could someone please post the 2011 version or earlier of the solution? Thank you!

I saved it back to LV 2009.
