I'm converting some VB6 forms to C# and have created an utility which generates C# designer files from the VB6 source files. It's going well, but I've ran into some trouble with ordering.
I have an option button and an updown beside each other and the right side of the option button is slightly overlapping the updown. I tried resizing the option button, but no usable size seems to leave the caption visible.
I've considered changing the option button to have a transparent background, but unfortunately the solution isn't viable for all of my forms.
However, what I think would definitely work is bringing the updown to the front or sending the option button to the back, but I can't figure out how to do this from within the designer code only.
How can I bring controls to the front or send them to the back from the designer code? If anyone has a different solution for having the caption visible I'm open for suggestions. It must be done from within the designer code only, as that is what my tool generates.
The order in which controls are added to their parent determines the initial Z-order. The control added first will be in front of controls added later:
this.Controls.Add(updownButton);
this.Controls.Add(optionButton);
