RE: Re: Static text over an image

[Mark Allan]

I've seen this happen *every* time in IB if the items in question are within an 
NSView.  It was driving me crazy for a while until I figured out (completely by 
accident) that the order has to be reversed when you're setting up the NIB/XIB 
file for it to work correctly.

It's a real PITA because to see and edit the text which you want, eventually, 
to appear on top of the image, you constantly have to select the image/text and 
go the Layout menu and move it back and forward as required, and then remember 
to move the text back behind the image before you save and rebuild your project.

I've seen it happen a few times where views will be layered in the  
reverse order that they're set to in IB. Try moving the label behind  
the image and see if that gives you the desired result.

 Hi,

 I want to have text over an image. Even though I set it up in IB  
 (move image to the back, bring the label to the front), the label is  
 always drawn behind the image. Is there a setting to be set in IB  
 for that or do I have to draw the text myself?

 Thanks,

 Andre Masse

Or you could do what I did when I had a project this was an intense  
annoyance for what with the several-times-a-day client updates, which  
is to just programmatically reverse the order on load. That smoothed  
development considerably.
