Grid lines bleeding into overlayed panel

I have a problem where i have a panel with a grid on it. I think display another panel on top of this, using the assume and overlay properties. The problem however is the grid lines appear to bleed into my new panel (not the entire grid, just the grid lines).

Any ideas on this? i've tried setting the z index on the grid to 11 and the new panel is set to 88, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Looks like grid lines are hard-coded to z index = 96. Try setting z index on your panel to 100 or so, and it should correct it.

I'm running into a similar issue. One screen has a grid, another program is called that overlays the first screen and on this screen there is also a grid. If I set the z-index higher than 96 for the second screen and it's other elements, the grid lines and the scroll bar for the grid on the second screen are not displayed. If I change the second screen to show as window = true, this seems to work (no grid line & scroll bar issues), but I can no longer see the loading animation. The 'Window' is the same size as the screen it's overlaying and both are basically full screen so moving the window isn't really an option.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

I'm not sure I understand.

If both screens are "full screen", why bother with using a window or overlay? Why not simply display the 2nd screen without overlaying or windowing?

Thanks Scott.

Removing the overlay never crossed my mind.

Works great now....
