| every gadget in my User interface (be it the buttons, actual window or title bar) are stored in a type.I can move them all around with the mouse but they order is wrong. some objects will go behind others.. buttons are generally parented to the window gadget. My question is: WHen i click on the main titlebar (to which the main window is parented) how can i bring the entire group forward? Object heirarchy: (sp) from top Titlebar>Window>Buttons I cant seem to get it to work with EntityOrder. (simply entityorder entity,-1 still ends up with incorrect results) is there a technique to say, iterate through all the gadgets and find the connected gadgets, and order them correctly? Any examples would be great as im unsure im doing things right... Cheers... |

| Don't you just give each one a different negative entity order? |

| Tried that. if that is supposed to work then im doing something wrong, and i dont think i am... How would i iterate through them and find the parents correctly though, my current loop skeeps finding the same one and causing a stack overflow :S |

| I'm adding a childen field to each gadget so i can access all the children directly.. this means i dont have to push the stack so hard and can position things directly :) Wish me luck. |
