Paint Order
OmniForm uses a specific paint order. The table object itself is painted
first, then the cells inside the table, and then objects inside the cell. This
makes it possible to have three layers of paint. The last layer painted in
an object overrides all other layers. Because objects inside a cell are
painted last, they will cover up the cells and portions of the table.
If an object’s background or border is
Clear,
however, then that part of
the object is transparent and an object painted below can show through.
You can use the
Send to Back
and
Bring to Front
commands in the Format
menu to change paint order.
