setting Z Order of measurement studio controls in Visual C++

[ldo]

How can I set the Z Order of a measurement studio control (such as a button, numeric edit, etc.) from within a VC 6.0 application? I have several overlapping controls in which the first control is on top and the controls I apply later are below. I must go through all kinds of gyrations to control the Z Order.

Tab order in Visual C++ dialogs controls Z-plane order. You can set the tab order under Layout->Tab Order. The lower the number in the tab order, the higher on the Z-plane.

Thank you, Chris. I finally found that tab order equates to Z-order under Visual C++. Microsoft could do a lot to improve their help command search capabilities.
