Layering Scheme

As widgets are placed inside containers, there becomes the issue of specifying which widget gets drawn on top. It's important that the widgets placed inside of a container are above the containers background, or the user would be unable to view the placed widgets.

EWL handles the layering so the programmer dosen't need to worry about it. In some cases it is necessary for a widget to overlap another widget with the same parent. In this case you set the layer priority of the widget to a higher value (negitive values are possible).

If you want a widget to be placed over top of all other widgets, like floater for example, you can set the widget to be 'top layered'. This setting will also effect the children of that widget.
