I am working on a GUI that now has a lot of layered GUI objects (checkboxes, dropdown menus, radiobuttons, etc.). Currently, I am trying to move something and add a text input field. After sorting through the fields to get to the button I need to move, I had to 'send to back' some things. Now that the button is free, I need to 'send to front' a previously moved object. Every time I try to send anything to the front or back, a group of 9 checkboxes and 4 radiobutons that are in the same panel shift up about half an inch. It's really obnoxious. Any thoughts on how I can suppress unwanted movement?

If GUIDE had native tab support, this would all be much easier.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Hi Andy, this is Andy.

I think if you change the GUI options from 'resizable' to 'non-resizable,' GUIDE should be able to keep up with the absolute position on your graphical objects. In fact, I know this is true because I am you and I just did it and it worked. So hopefully if someone else has the same problem, this will have helped them. I'm going to stop talking to myself now because it's weird.
