OK, that's it, i'm turning crazy... after a couple of hours searching. Could somebody please look to the this schematic, I simply don't find a way to bring that bargraph to the front on my panel. For some reason it wants to stay behind my background image..

I've reduced the osm to the minimum

This the osm Here

I must be doing something very fundamentaly wrong, but have no idea what is it.

just had alook and got it working,

just select your bitmap loader and right click and select make into module then just add a gui component with a link in and out to connect it to your main gui component, this works but i don't know why.

i had a similar problem when i started drove me crazy for ages, then it turns out to be something this simple 😕

I must be doing something wrong it doesn't work here Could you send me your osm please [email removed]

oh yeah, you have to make sure that the image is viewable from the module, by making the module bigger until you see it then move it up into the top corner.

Hi Kara,

this are known newbie missings... 😉

1. don't forget a wireless Input to your bargraph MGui 2. make a modul out of this connected parts 3. On Top enable Frontpanel and make it bigger!

et voila...

Glad i could help, SUNSynth

sunsynth's right, the proper way to do it would be to make your bargraph into a module.

i seem to do everything backwards 😕 but hey thats me!

i think i'm losing my marbles just checked the osm that i sent you and i've done what sunsynth said but also put the bitmap loader into a module.

eh? 😕 i think tonights an early night for me

The wireless off the MGUI connected to the bar-graph is dragged off to the left. Drag it to the right to see what's going on:

Notice the gray bar on the wireless. It says this connection was made after the other and therefore will display above it.

Dissconnect it.

Move the connection from the bar-graph to the wireless

Reconnect the bar-graph. Now it's in front.

There's a bit about the drawing order by reference to the notches in links on page 102 of the User Guide. Link Order is addressed at page 37. It helped me!
