PBringToFront

Moves the selected text or graphic to the front or top layer of the page.


Command constructor

PBringToFront();

Stacking order not affected. If you selected multiple elements, the selected objects retain their stacking order in relation to each other, but the selection is brought to the front of the page ahead of everything else.

Command language compared to using pointer tool. When you move a text block or a graphic with the pointer tool, PageMaker automatically brings the object to the front. However, when you move an object with the command language, you must use PBringToFront to bring objects to the front of the page.

Layout view only. The PBringToFront command works only in layout view.

Example. The following example selects the bottom-most object by its drawing order (1) and brings it to the top layer of the page.

PSelect(1);
PBringToFront();
