AmbientAttributes.zIndex

The zIndex attribute specifies or retrieves the order in which the control is rendered.

Syntax

Possible Values

This attribute is a read/write Number (long) with a default value of zero. The range is that of a signed long integer.

Remarks

The background bitmap of a VIEW or SUBVIEW has a fixed z index of zero. If you want a control to be behind the background, the zIndex must be set to a negative number.

The z index of a VIEW or SUBVIEW is an absolute index, while the z index of a control is relative to the z index of the VIEW or SUBVIEW that contains it.

The zIndex attribute is not supported by the BROWSER and PLAYLIST elements. It will not work with the VIDEO element if VIDEO**.windowless** is set to false, nor with the EFFECTS element if EFFECTS**.windowed** is set to true.

BUTTONELEMENT elements use the zIndex of their BUTTONGROUP.

Requirements

Windows Media Player version 7.0 or later.
