How can I change the z-order of control in the Dialog Editor

[wlai]

I have imported forms from Visual Basic but the z-order of all controls are not correct. How can I change the z-order in the Dialog Editor?

[VladimirF]

In the dialog Editor, go to Layout | Tab Order, and click on your controls in the order you want them.

How should I manage the z order (order in different level, like bring to front or send to back) using the tab order?

[Rasmoo]

In short:
tab order relates to z order in this way,
first in tab order - top most in z order
last in tab order - bottom most in z order

for overlapping controls in a dialog you'll have to edit the .rc file (as text) and add the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS flag to all of the controls
