BringToFront equivalent when using DrawPath 1

[waytech2003]

Just learning VB2010 after many years in VB6. I was wondering if there is a way to move a System.Drawing.Graphic on top of another after they have been drawn. All I can conclude at this time is that they stay in the order that they are created.

I have an array of graphics. My drawing is done in a Panel control, and I have them drawn in that panel's paint event. I test to see if the user has clicked on a shape, then I work with that shape. How would I bring it to the front? My thought at this moment is to reorder the array, and have the Panel repaint itself.

Any ideas other than that would be appreciated.

Use an array of PictureBoxes. Draw your images to the PictureBoxes - 1 per box - then add the PictureBoxes to the panel, using the z-order property to put them in the order you want.
