I have 3 labels, lets call them label1, label2, and label3. I want all of them bellow application windows. I want label2 and label3 always ontop of label1. I load them in order of the way I want them, kinda like layers. But if i accidentally click on label1, then label1 will be on top of labels 2 and 3. I want labels 2 and 3 on top of label1 at all times. How do I do this?

If your design permits it, you could hook label2 and label3 inside label1.

Otherwise try zorder-0.2

how do I hook label 2 and 3 inside label1? I'm sorry, this is my first time using xlabel.

xLabel's .chm docs has examples. Make sure you set your label2x, label2y, label3x, label3y coordinates relative to the top left of label1, because that's what hooking implies.

where is the chm file, its not in the modules folder.

the problem is, that chm files are not decompressed, so you can find it in your modules\archive\xlabel-XX.zip file.


to hook a label into another:


now, the hooked labels have a x and y pos from the beginning of the base label, not your desktop position:
2Labelx 0
3Labely 0
= top left corner of 1Label

and, if you hook 2/3Label, don't set the
*Label 2Label
line. this line has only to be there if you paint it directly on the Desktop

It worked. Thanks for the help.
