Is this a bug in CUSTOM screens?

[searcher123]

Under CUSTOM screen, when I create a GroupBox and a Text object, GroupBox is placed in front of Text object. I used "Arrange -> Bring to Front" and "Send to Back" for solving this problem, but no change was happened. Is this a bug?

Confirmed with listbox too...

Hi searcher123,

Thanks for bringing this up but this actually isn't a bug. This is basically what happens when you try to place non-windowed controls (Text) over a windowed control (Group Box).

For the most part you shouldn't be overlapping controls. What are you trying to do where you would need your controls to be placed like this?

Dear Mark,
The permanent color of Group Box object cause some problems. For example, on some screen's backgrounds, the Group Box title will be invisible or when I change screen's background color in Style tab, the background color of Group Box's tile will not be transparent. For solving this problem, I erase Group Box title text and create a Text object instead of it (because the color of Text object is changeable by Style tab). In practice, however, my theory was failed by above problem!

Best Regards
