Overlaying Objects
MAPware-7000 does not permit most objects to be overlaid (placed on top of each other). You
will see an error message displayed similar to the one below when you attempt to compile or
save the project:
If you wish to perform multiple tasks with one object, try using the Task feature (see Chapter 6 –
Task Management). However, some objects can be overlaid. The general rule of thumb is if two
objects are active objects (meaning the object is used to display data from a register or is used
to perform some action when pressed), then you cannot overlay them. If one of the objects is
active and the other is static (i.e. text box, drawing tool, etc.) then overlaying is permitted as
long as the active object is on top. If both objects are static, overlay them in any manner.
When two objects are overlaid, you can select which object is shown on top and which object is
shown on bottom by using the Bring to Front and Send to Back controls located in the
Layout menu and toolbar.
