Draw string on top of rectangle shape?

Posted 07 October 2011 - 10:12 AM

I'm using e.graphics in the Me.Paint event to draw a string in the form. There is a rectangle shape with gradient in the form, and the string is supposed to be drawn on top of the rectangle shape. However, when I run the program, the string is drawn under the rectangle shape, and is therefore invisible... How do I fix this??

Thanks in advance :bigsmile:

Drawing occurs in a layering effect. Call the drawString method after the drawRectangle/fillRectangle method.
