My understanding is the Zindex is only relative to other elements at the same level in the hierarchy.
We're doing a bunch of stuff with many items in many panels, to get an item on top we have to set the zindex on the panel to make it sit above its sibling panels and then the zindex on the item to move it to the top of the items in that panel. You may have to break it into two buttons or else have your tabcontrol inside the button? Keep in mind that items in a Grid are restricted to the Grid's bounds while items in a Canvas can happily go anywhere. John.

I'm stuggling to get it working and I think its because the Zindex is being ignored because my paths are not actually on a canvas (within the button template). I was hoping that the Zindex's would bubble up to the Canvas that my custom button and the control are both on but it's not working that way. any ideas? it's layed out like this: (Psuedo Xaml) <Canvas> <TabControl Zindex=1/> <Button> <Style> <Path1 Zindex=0/> <Path2 Zindex=2/> </Style> </Button> </Canvas>
