Graphics Layering

HumptyNotSoDumpty

Please would someone clarify if its possible to control what 'layer' graphic objects appear? For example, if I draw a line which overlaps a control on a form, the control will hide some of the line. I know you can bring controls to the front, or send them to the back, but I have set controls on the appropriate 'layers', and I wish to draw graphics over the top of all controls. Is this possible? If so, I would really appreciate it if someone would kindly enlighten me as to how. Thanks

Thanks for you input. Its most appreciated. Unfortunately, you have misunderstood my problem. My problem is not to do with button images, but with how graphic objects, i.e. lines, circles, etc appear when objects overlap each other. For example, you may have a tab control on a form, and wish to draw a line which appears infront of the tab control, instead of behind it.

I Have just designed this and I am working on getting all the controls done. http://www.1800number.com/images/form1.jpg Basically If I am understanding your question all you have to do is goto the properties of the Button and then choose the image option this will give you the import option and your button image will be placed on the Corresponding button. I recommend you create your graphics and buttons first, also leave them blank as the original button that your will replace the text field will show through. If you have a problem Send me an emial or catch me on Aim. Keep in mind I am new to this C#.
