Re: IDE and control layering
Judith,
What would be helpful is that anything built in layer 0 be by default
visible in other layers, for placing controls in those layers relative to
the layer 0 controls.
And of course, if a control is made in a *layer*, over the top of, say, a
*group* in a base layer, that control should be parented to the *group* in
the base layer.
