How does one programmatically change the ZOrder of objects on a
Window during runtime in RealBasic?
(The ZOrder is the front-back relationship of objects.)
It's easy to do this design-time, but how does one do this at runtime?
Also, relating to some other questions I posed earlier, I am making a
number of objects on a Window dynamically. I can do that very well
now (thank you), and I also asked about how to delete objects. The
answer to that was a little unclear.
To create an object, in design-time I make a Canvas called ClipCanvas
with index=0 and put it on the Window. I then make more objects at
run-time like this:
Dim c As Canvas
c = new ClipCanvas
// this creates another ClipCanvas with Index=1
So, to delete this ClipCanvas, do I do this?
ClipCanvas(1).close
One person said this is not correct. Is it? If it is, what does
.Close do? Calls the destructor of the object, and all resources
deleted? What happens when I create another new ClipCanvas object -
does that take the Index of the ClipCanvas I just "closed"? Is it
just me but .Close doesn't sound to much like Kill or Delete or
Destroy or Murder. =)
Does the c = new ClipCanvas assign the lowest available Index number
for that control array?
