Making a RECTANGLE object NON transparent - page 2

Thanks for the reponse. I'll have a think about this one. 

I control the ability to 'show' th rectaagle via a Toggle button.

So I could have the background display present, then hit the Toggle Button and the rectangle appears - i.e. it would suggest it is drawn AFTER the back ground screen.

The rectangle doesn't look solid then go transparent when the screen refreshes with the next update.

Each of my items on the screen is a label - all generated by the same sub. Are you suggesting that maybe I could add some parameter to the label generation to ensure it remains a background item?

Like I say it won't hurt anything (other than my pride perhaps) not to resolve this issue or understand why it can not be achieved - I have some easy work arounds

This is perfectly doable. As said, you have 2 levers :

1. Play with foreground/background.

2. Play with the order in which your objects are drawn.

 

I'll keep 'playing' - thanks
