SUMMARY
=======

If two or more images are overlapping on a form, you can use the technique
presented in this article to bring one of the images forward based on a mouse
click.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The basic theory behind this is if two or more pictures overlap and the user
clicks on an image, the image clicked will come to the front. This can be
accomplished with the Zorder() method.

In the Click event of each image add the following code:

     THIS.ZOrder(0)

Setting the Zorder() with a zero will make the object come to the front of the
zorder in its graphical level. The zero can be left out of the code because it
is the default value.
