Hello!

As you can see in this picture:



The text is over the mouse. The mouse is a plain object, so is the "open file" box, but the icons (the ones the mouse is beneath) are pasted directly to the screen, and so is the text. How can I print the text behind the mouse, but in front of the box?

assemble it all on an offscreen bitmap, get the image and paste that at 0,0 on bmp 0 (the screen)

I'll try that,thanks, but the "get image" command is slow and goes hard on the processor. Is there a friendlier way?

I believe I remember a Draw to Front/Draw To Back command set. Could try that, or if you make your mouse a Sprite, it will be over everything.

Yup, BN2's got it - mouse as sprite. From the look of your app, it looks like there is 3d behind your dialog boxes so you probably want to avoid DRAW TO BACK. And if you are using the plane for collision detection - projecting a ray into the screen from it's 3d position, just hide it and position the sprite mouse pointer and it at the same location. You can get the plane's 2d location with OBJECT SCREEN X and OBJECT SCREEN Y .

Enjoy your day.

@BN2

That would work, but the box is 3d, so the text would draw the the back of that too, and you wouldn't see anything...

@Latch

Is that really the only way? I was trying to avoid using sprites from the beginning, because they slow down a lot... Sprites it is.

The ray casting is maths alone, no object positions...

@Actually, couldn't you just use paste image and make you paste it last?

I know! Thanks BN2! I will use paste image when opening and saving files, and when editing the waypoints I'll use a plain to speed it up.
