Z index for texts are not respected

Unread post by fpdragon »

Hello,

I'm trying to overlay a text in the Page Header from a grouping Header.
It is possible to overlay a grouping header text with a negative top value but it seems that the text of a field is not respecting Z index configuration.
The background color and the border is shown correctly and is overlapping but the texts of the same objects are shown as they would be always on top. So the result is that I see the background of the grouping header and both texts on it.

Any ideas how I can hide the text?
thx

Hi,
Any ideas how I can hide the text?
With nuHide in Custome code / JavaScript you can hide any object ex.
nuHide('FF_label_memo');
or in the Object / Property / Access - choose hidden.

Thank you for your answer.

I'm not sure how this could help. Is it possible to initiate code during the report creation?

The thing is that I have one text that is printed on each page but on some pages it should be replaced by the grouping feature. So my thought was that I just put another text object on top that overlaps the original one.
So it would be necessary to hide the original text just on some pages.

fpdragon,

You could expect the order of Objects to appear in the same order as Select Objects displays them...

I ran into the same problem: I scanned a form and want that as a full page background.png. On top of that background.png I want to display my fields (and fill in the form).
The Z index is not working. I had the image on 100 and the fields on 999 but the fields always ended up being covered by the image.
I found what was posted here: if the image is obj1001 and the fields have a higher number, that works like the Z Index: higher number is on top and visible. The problem is: I cannot choose the obj_no, and the background.png keeps getting the highest number when I save the report and therefore covers all the fields. What can I do to solve that problem? Why is the image always getting the highest number, even though I add new fields?
Thanks Mike
