I have a panel with a Pilot and Copilot window. When I use an icon to open a sub-panel in the Pilot window the sub-panel shows up on top of the main panel which is what want. When I use the same icon to open a sub-panel in the Copilot window the sub-panel shows up behind of the main panel. How can I get the sub-panel to show up in front of both windows?

 

Thanks, Bob.

Try zorder=..

 

[Window00]

.........

zorder=0

ident="pilot"

 

 

[Window01]

.........

zorder=1

ident="copilot"

 

 

[Window02]

.........

zorder=2

ident="sub"

 

 

Hope it helps,

Hi Jan. OK. Thanks. If I follow that then all the subpanels will all appear over both the main and copilot panels, I assume. I'll give it a try. I appreciate the help. Regards, Bob.

Hi Bob,

I hope you are doing OK ? What Jan proposed works. And yes, all the sub panels with the zorder=2 are showing up over the main and your co-pilot window.

 

Have a nice day.

I use the following Icon code in my F-111 Pig HUD panel to swap from Pilot to WSO.

I have it in both panels to enable back and forth toggle.

1. As above I use the Icon to switch Pilot to WSO in much the same way as the Enum toggle function.

 

2. Use zorder for pop up windows.

 

3. When I require more than 9 pop up windows , say for example 25 pop up windows for instrument

development and testing.

I create what I call " Icon Central " where one window ( Shift X ) will contain the 25 Icons ,

thereby enabling any of those 25 pop ups to be called up without running out of or being

limited by Shift X restrictions.

Hi Karol. Thanks. I'll save that. Best regards, Bob.

Thanks to all that answered me with GREAT help! I now have it working right. I never did understand zorder before. Best regards to all, bob.
