Gets or sets the shape’s position in the z-order.
Namespace : DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
Assembly : DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.RichEdit.Core
int ZOrder { get; set; }
Property ZOrder As Integer
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 |
An integer that specifies the shape’s position in the z-order.
|
When you insert a new shape in code, its ZOrder value is equal to 0. Change the ZOrder value to move the shape in front of or behind other shapes in the collection.
The example below uses the Shape.ZOrder property to position a picture behind the specified drawing object and sets the picture’s Shape.TextWrapping property to BehindText.
document.LoadDocument("FirstLook.docx", DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.DocumentFormat.Docx);
Shape myPicture = document.Shapes[1];
myPicture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Top;
myPicture.ZOrder = document.Shapes[0].ZOrder - 1;
myPicture.TextWrapping = TextWrappingType.BehindText;
document.LoadDocument("FirstLook.docx", DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.DocumentFormat.Docx)
Dim myPicture As Shape = document.Shapes(1)
myPicture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Top
myPicture.ZOrder = document.Shapes(0).ZOrder - 1
myPicture.TextWrapping = TextWrappingType.BehindText
