Ok, This may seem a dumb question. BUT what exactly IS z-ordering of windows?

And How do i implement it?

It's which window goes on top, then udner it and under that -- a layering concept. Assign each window with its own Z-Index, and display them on the screen in reverse order (Z1 would be on top of Z2, so you have to show Z2 first and draw Z1 on top)

But why is it called Z ordering. Why dont we call it A, B, C or X, Y etc... ordering??? :wink:

probably a stupid answer but i think it is the z dimension


z-ordering - potato - 09-04-2003

you're correct!
X = width/left right
Y = height/up down
Z = depth/in out
