Remarks
Relative child shapes are used to display ports, labels and image fields. When the user moves the parent shape, the children move with it, but they can be outside the parent shape’s bounding box – unlike nested child shapes.
The ParentShapeof every child shape is this ShapeElement.
Child shapes are usually painted in the order of the list, so that the last item on the list appears on top of the others. Relative child shapes are painted on top of nested child shapes. If you change the order of the list, call:
shape.Diagram.NeedsRenumber = true; shape.Invalidate();
