<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I’m working on a
routine to create gridlines to assist in positioning</span> <span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>some rectangles that I draw with
code. I’ve got the gridlines working, but they end up under the framework
for the individual lessons and I need them on top. Here’s the approach
I’m using:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I have a flag variable to
turn it on and off in my setup script, and the graphic icon I draw it on, and

style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>entry frame of the interface icon.
This works until I enter another framework, at which point the other framework
sits on top of my gridlines. I’ve tried using swapDepths with a numeric
value of 10000, which should be higher than the depth of any other icon, and
I’ve also tried using the id of the framework in place of the numeric
value. I’ve even moved the code</span> <span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>to
the page where I draw the rectangle, and used the icon id of the</span> <span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>screen shot graphic with swapDepths,
but it always appears under the framework. Anyone have any idea?</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
